Hatch or notch for dragracing

well if u watch some really fast hatch backs u can see the hatch pop open when they launch hard,the notch has a back dash with a metal frame so im sure the body wont flex as much.but eaither way if u get a roll cage and frame connectors ul be fine.

Have not noticed that before but i could see that being an issue. As i stated earlier i want to run in the 6.50 class. Not knowing that much about ford engines and want to run a carbed engine what would you recommend to run. I believe 6.50 = 10.20. or so. I would prefer to have some reserve in the motor.

well i would build a small block.starting with a dart block eaither a big bore 302 based block and get 377in plus or a tall deck 351 based and do 408in plus.if it was me i would do the tall deck and get alot of cubes.plus that way u can keep the compression down and run on pump gas or jam some compression and run e85.

ps you dont need to get a dart block its a good insurance,plus u can like i said get the bigger bore block and get more cubes for the same price,the pistons might be like 2 hundred more but for the extra cubes and the insurance that u can run 1200hp befor the block cracks makes me feel good..the older 351 blocks like pre 1973 are heavier so you could use one of them
