Here is some pic's. The guys are currently running at Vegas and doing good! The engine is an orignal Boss 302 block with Yates heads. Currently it's a 347 Ci using a 350 cfm Holley! The engine was dyno at over 400Hp.. The Chassis was a Crown Vic Police car. This car is the only known IMCA Ford Stock car. Has been approved by IMCA.

Thats a good looking stock car. Did the CV chassis need much work to get it to work?

Bet the 302 screams!!

It's a 347.. the reason for the CI was because of the carb size. The rules allow any engine CI.

It runs the CV control arms front and rear. They actually lowered the rear (rear end) lower control arm point 1" Just like drag racing the Fox.. Gave them some foward bite.. Awesome how drag racing works with stock cars as well..

That is pretty cool.

Thats a good way to regulate without a pile of rules. Just limit the carb.

Just called them.. They are having some probs with a dry slick track.. There are like 400 of the IMCA Modified and they are putting rubber down. The track is hooking but requires some braking effect unlike our home track that's normally heavy..

They told me that the big track is testing race cars while the drag strip is running cars and there was some sort of Air Show.. Damn.. I wish I went!
