Myron, Looking at build just like your's but starting with stock wagon myself. I was looking for this same info. Spent a while talking with John Irving about his wagon and some base ideas. What engine combo do you plan on running? Good luck with the combo.

Got one intake and Thermoquad from 83Imp last week. Very good person to deal with and right on time. Thanks a bunch. Things are going to be a little slow for the next month as shop is really bust and it's way too hot. I should get car into shop the first of October and then I'll start posting...

Thanks for the positive comments. Hope this build is as fun as I think it will be. First order of business is getting parts found and getting it running. Will get it in shop this weekend and start the cleanup and prep.

I have posted the rules so you can better understand how challenging it is to make a Stocker run as fast as it does. Although most people don't care for as many rules as Stock, Super Stock, Comp or any other class that NHRA/IHRA has, it is necessary to keep things from getting out of hand. I...

Everything from the new Drag Pack Challengers and Cobra Jet Mustangs to a...
