Flammy runs TH350 with drive couplers rather than torques I think?. Big advantage.

I'd definately bring the #71 Delaware Super Stocker.
I've been waiting for over two years to get back there.

But,
I'm really confused. I thought everyone keeps saying that they can make built engines for less than the 602 and that the built engines make more power. I just bought my second crate engine after running the original 602 for 5 seasons (timing chane broke and bent 2 valves) this engine was not touched other than a new set of valve springs last year and regular Oil changes. Not bad for a $3500 crate engine, 5 years.

I'd have to agree with LAKER77 there would be a easy 6 -8 Delaware SS that would go.

1) Even if flamborough runs dirrect drive, who cares, they have the 602 anyhow...

2) You can build for cheaper than a 602, but most rules don't allow it, Last time I checked, builts can't run Vortec heads and .430 (or is it .420) lift cams. Nother thread on that one...

3) I'm not from Flamborough, I'm from Kawartha and Mosport. I can tell you the hp there is around 290 ish since some guys have run the 290hp crate, which is the option down this way. I'd be more than happy to put the word out at both tracks, but WE NEED A POTENTIAL DATE(S)

DB71,

I know where your confusion is... Here at Barrie we can run a built engine, or a crate. The crate available to us is NOT the 602. The 602 at Barrie is the LLM engine. The crate that is available to us is actually a truck engine, and nowhere near the 602. We can build a built that is better than the crate available to us (which actually isn't a bad engine, it just runs out of steam at about 6200).

We are not permitted to use the 602, Vortech heads etc... we have to use Large Chamber 76cc 1.94 / 1.50. Think smogger '70's era heads, stock. We also (many of us) use the Powerglide, I can't think of anyone running the Turbo 350.
