School me on Stock Eliminator?

RMCHRGR said, "This car really does weigh around 2,600 lbs."

My '64 Valiant V100 with a 340 4-speed and an 8.75" weighed FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS more that on three different sets of scales.

Better go weigh that car; I think you'll be surprised.

I'm going to call NHRA again today on the D-Dart for Stock Eliminator issue.

RE the lifter issue; the NHRA Tech I talked to on the phone was adamant that mechaincal lifters are the correct ones to use in the 235/273 motor, since that's what the blueprint sheet calls for. I don't know anything about NHRA ever requiring hydralics in a motor that came from the factory with solids. I just don't believe that ever happened.

Angela's K/SA car can be a benchmark for your efforts. If she can run high 11's, (and, she has) then you know its do-able. It would be a lot easier with Larry Hollums onboard, though, trust me.

Go for it!!!! :)
