Woooow George thanks ..... I mentioned to a few we got into the 67,s in the wee Anglia , only just though.......when we first started it was 10,s ......so 2,5 seconds slower than the then v8,s .. I see Alby must have struggled as this I think was his first or second attempt with the falcon 65,s pretty good for a big car George that was well done given those years John always struggled with his mustang at bay park .......but the comet was a grunter there is a pik some where of me following you through railway quite close to yr bum & wooooosh away you went although yr car struggled a bit on the stoppers & over the hill it was fun while it lasted had those issues been sorted it would been gonzo ........... That comet $27k running a 289 does not seem to be a good combination re power to weight ... what did yr comet weigh ?????
what size engine & HP......
$27k us = $34k NZ plus freight & gst , maf & custom..=$8k plus good big block , up date this & that say an other $40k being = consevative = $85 k it gets up there fast eh ? keep throwing ideas George its good.......as you know buying the car is the cheapest part , its what happens after that when we start adding improvements like a dry sump , better brakes , g/box , light weight rollcage etc ..... you would know what Tony charges the boys to do a 289 ????????........... we did our own a bit like you....... moral of the story if you want to have a quick car your going to have to put the hand in the pocket.......... & have a sponsor that is a petrol head ... do we know any ?????????????????????????????????????????????? lol perhaps I come up one weekend and have a meeting lol
