Post maybe fab up a stock car ?

well i have aquired an 81 cutlass supreme with no motor or trans, and im thinking that it could be a nice little stock car with the caddy 425 and th400, or if i could rig up the sm318 three speed tranny out of a 67-72 truck i have if i got the adaptor from advance adaptors or somewhere if i can find under dash clutch pedal assembly out of something to use( i dunno what, hmm..)

any thoughts on 425 swap onto G body and adapting 3 speed chevy iron bellhousing to 425 and also how to keep city zoning off my back about keeping the car ?
what have you guys done ?
i want to do this if I can, it would be neato

thanks

what i figured that much lol, too bad we dont have a track near here, have to go to pana or elsewhere, im not exactly in an area where tracks exist... unless you travel. i kow of a couple guys here in town who dirt track cars, Il have to get in with them soon and maybe make a deal with them, who know what we'll come up with, i know one of them finally retired his car after tracking it for a couple or three years, it finally was damaged enough to say good bye heh.

thanks

There probably aren't any stock classes that a 425 would be legal, unless they have a bomber 2bbl class. Destruction derby is probably your only hope. Those are fun, but only a one shot deal.
