               Hi everone I ended up with a 1955 ford sedan racecar needs work HaHa! the track down the road from me is a 1/4 mile dirt track medium bank. rules for a factory stock are as follows, stock block,stock heads, stock exhaust and intake manifold can use 4-barrel intake with 2-barrel stock carburetor, engine 360 cubic inch or smaller, stock transmission either manual or auto. cams no roller also no porting allowed. can run 9'' ford rearend, my question is do you think a 292 .060 over can be built with these specs to compete or am I wasting my time. But it sure would be fun to drive by em' with a Y !!! thanks I will try and get pictures soon, I think the 55' makes a cool racecar. And no I don't beileive in hacking these cars up for racing, It is an original racecar.

Todd Watertown S.D.
