Junk yard Dragger
I've always wanted to drag but never had the funds still don't but my time to do it is running out. I've always been a pure stock guy pretty much. I just built them back the way they came.
So here's what I have give me my best options to piece something together with $$ 0 LoL. Motors from 326 389 400 455 tranys 2 speed 300s , turbo 350 and 400 a few different numbered heads but I have a set of 48s . intakes QJ and tri power both, rear I have a set of 4.88s what ever gets thrown together will go in a 65 A body Post Coupe |

Unless you're only racing 1/8th mile, those 4.88 are way too steep for a traditional Pontiac unless you're going to use a ridiculously tall tire.. I'd use the healthiest of the 389-455 combo and the healthiest of the 3 speed trannys. A QJ intake with a good mated QJ or TQ will work great. A street fighter converter or something comperable will work well.

For inexpensive traction http://www.americanraceronline.com/ the "DOT" tires work surprisingly well. (I've done consistant 1.52's 60 fts with a 3900 lb car using the soft compound 285/60-15) I'd go 455 and no more than 3.7x gear.

455 engine, TH350 trans, no steeper than a 3:55 gear. You'l be suprised on what times it'll turn.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
