[DeTomaso] Who is going to be at WOT long enoughto needFancySchmantzy Race Oil? 6- PANTERA OIL

[Tom Di Iulio]

the "fun run" I had at Bonneville was done with a stock engine excepting
intake and carb, larger wheels and tires, aluminum radiator, and a
5-point harness. My brakes were stock and the engine (at that time) had
never been opened up. 
The car was running strong in the 140's with original gearing. 
the engine will NOT be your limiter...it'll be your safety equipment
(rollbar/cage, harnesses, tire ratings, etc.). 
Check out SSCC's website for tech requirements for each speed class.
That'll tell you how fast you're allowed to run and then you can decide
if that's too fast or not and could drop down if you want. 


Hmmmm. . .

Okay, so my plan is to run my 1973 almost stock-as-a-rock Pantera L in  
the Silver State Classic Challenge in the upcoming year.  It's not  
quite "Brock-Stock" but instead has a few minor mods:

- Aluminum Radiator
- Full Roller timing gear/chain set
- Replacement CNC Clutch Master Cylinder
- Soon to be new ball joints and a-arm bushings
- New wheel bearings

well okay, so some thing don't really count as mods, so I'm really  
pretty stock.  The engine has had no major overhaul work, but does  
have a replacement Hollery carb on it.

So what top end do you think I can really get to?  100, 105, 110?   
 From this post, it looks like I shouldn't expect too much.

I'd like to run the SSC at least once with the stock engine, and then  
maybe again some time later with a new home-brew rebuild.
