true story.... One of my brothers had a '67 convert Camaro with a built 396 rock crusher 4 - speed. Headers, aluminum intake, side-saddle 850 DP, etc, and he wouldn't race my '70 Duster with a 340, and I didn't even have headers. I drove both, he and I both knew...
You had a few brothers too. lol My middle brother had a few 63-65 small block Darts, a built 63 or 64 shoehorned 440 Dart,true story....

there's 10 of us siblings..
Even better in an A100 van with a 3 on the tree.
I absolutely love driving 3 on the tree's. I have a tradesman 100 shorty van 318/auto, but not really setting that for racing. I think a teen D150 beating a 454 Nova would be rich-n-sweet desert. IF I lose...... "of course, you got a BB Nova, it's just a 318 in a truck"....
a BB nova gonna be 3500lbs curb weight, thats 500 lbs lighter than my lil plan jane /6 D150 curb weight!! and the truck got the aerodynamics of a brick! idk if a mild geared,generic cammed 2 bbl 318 gonna out pull that! whats your plans for exhaust? cast manifolds??
My long bed truck weighs about 3500 as it sits.... I plan on running the exhaust that is on their now... Seems Summit hasn't shipped my order yet...
beat a 454 Nova ? lol not gonna happen, it shouldn't even be close. lolI absolutely love driving 3 on the tree's. I have a tradesman 100 shorty van 318/auto, but not really setting that for racing.

Boy.... I haven't used my "disagree" button in a long time..... but I refrainedbeat a 454 Nova ? lol not gonna happen, it shouldn't even be close. lol
well thank you. lol I know you've been around the block a time or two. the 318 should be a handicapped underdog.
If and when it happens, I'll post a video,... win, lose, or draw
There is no way that a warmed up 318 in a truck would beat a half way competently built 454 Nova.....I know its still cold outside, but the bench racing is getting a little crazy around here....
you wouldn't think.... but I'm dumb enough to try it, stupid enough to record it, and don't care enough that I'll post it ... LOL
If i win, ya gonna put one of these stickers on your car??? Sounds like it wouldn't be much of a risk to say "yes"
And if you loose does he get one of the sleeves off your shirt sent to him...If i win, ya gonna put one of these stickers on your car??? Sounds like it wouldn't be much of a risk to say "yes"

I made no claim... He said no way I win. Should be a "no risk" for him to say "yes"
LOL, sure! Best of luck....but if your friend has an IQ>50 and a budget above $15 you're in trouble.If i win, ya gonna put one of these stickers on your car??? Sounds like it wouldn't be much of a risk to say "yes"

I regularly played with a Duster 340 on my way to work in my '65 with a 68 340 in it. Id beat him every time to the point that he wouldnt even race me anymore. Mind you this was on a resi blvd and we'd take it up to about 60 and then let off but I'd beat him to 60-70 by about 3 car lengths every time. 3.55 SG 7.25 rear too! His 340 looked 100% stock, most likely an auto like mine. I beat a buddy in a Camaro with a 6.6 motor too. He had that weird diagonal carb mount Edelbrock torker intake.true story....
