Drag: Have motor and trans, but which car?

if you want a cool drag car you need to get into an early a-body 64-66 dart or valiant if you strip it down you could probably get it under 3000 lbs. 8.75 axle bolts in, v-8 swap is fairly easy, you can bolt disk brakes onto them, and you won't see another one at the track. your 360/auto would be right at home in an early a. i have just a mild one in mine and its a blast on the street. also while they are not as easy to find as later a-bodies, they are usually much cheaper. there's a bunch on ebay right now for decent prices. i head somewhere on here that the 2dr post cars were the lightest by some 200 lbs.

you should check out funnycar farmer (Dale Snoke)'s altered wheelbase, straight axle 64. waaaaaayyyyyyy cool. its on the cover of the latest Hot Rod Deluxe and also there is a good pic of it on pg. 26 of the latest issue of Traditional Rod and Kulture with the orange merc on the cover.

imagine how sweet it would be to pull into the highschool parking lot in a 60's vintage gasser/AFX car. chicks would be alllll over that!
