CAR question

[-J�ker-]

'ok my NEW car is a 67 camaro with a 406 engin (REALLYfast) and its blue w/ a black vinal top ALL ORIGINAL it has a roll cage and is seriously one of the fastest street cars in s'port'

can that cara make a quarter mile in 11 secs? that whats this guy claims

[Butterfingers]

With a 406 anything is possible. 11 sec 1/4's are not uncommon with such a big engine.

If you want to make sure ask him to demonstrate it.

[subbeh]

I disagree... 406s could do it but I doubt you're that lucky :)

Bring it to the track with the guy, on you, and test his theory :)

hmmmm an ALL ORIGINAL, 406 powered, 11 second, drag car-camaro.....that doesn't sound right....

i only know basic car stuff not really that much.. i know a 406 is a big engine but still a 11 sec 1/4 mile sounds a lil exgerating.. but ('ok my NEW car is a 67 camaro with a 406 engin (REALLYfast) and its blue w/ a black vinal top ALL ORIGINAL it has a roll cage and is seriously one of the fastest street cars in s'port') that is what the guy said and s'sport is short for shreveport which is where i live

Get a mechanic or someone who knows alot about cars to look at. Any thing is possible? When did chevy use a 406?

[-J�ker-]

lol apprently in 67? huh obsolete unless this guy is bs'in me idk you tell me obsolete

[Zumina]

my guess is an OBed 350 big block, which they did make back in the day.

anyone know what a 84' nissan(datsun) sentra (stock) would run the 1/4 mile in????

[Jonno06]

by the way,Zumina,my friend has a 92 Lumina Z34.......if any cares...

[obsolete898]

my guess is an OBed 350 big block

350's can only be bored over .003, which makes it 355. Even if you stroke it it comes out to 383. Maybe a bored 400? That's what I think.

[bornl33t]

can a GM person tell me how to get a 360? is it a dodge block or is it a bored 350?

the reason being I had aguy in town that claims to get 900 horses outta a 360 with a a 500 shot of nitro and this great car he has, a 84 monte carlo, its what he uses for street racing. Is it possible to make 900hp on a 360? I don't think it's blown or otherwise and I'm almost sure he doesn't have what it takes to make a built block.

A 360 is a Mopar engine. You could get that displacement out of a 350, but why, it would be easier to just bore it out and stroke it out to a 383.

usually a 350 would be bored over .030 to make a 400 stroker. as for the 406 it is possible to bore larger but you would have to install all new pistin sleeves, and wouldn't last terribly long. i have seen taht year camaro with 454s that is more realistic for 11 sec car. although strnger things have happened. where do you live? high altitudes can effect the fuel/air mix to the point where the car can and will perform better than other places.

just thinking out loud.......:)
