A buddy of mine used to run the hobby stock class here with a 74 catalina with a 400. The car came with 3.08 gears and he destroyed 4 motors before I finally talked him into a set of 2.56's. If you run a th400 like he did you have to account for the lower first gear ratio. All the sbc guys run the th350 with 3.08s on our 3/8 oval but the poor 400 couldn't handle the revs. Are you restricted on carb size? A 500 holley 2bbl was required here. Like Tom said nobody will want to claim you. It starts a lot of fights and paybacks are a *****. This car actually ran good when sorted out but with only one other pontiac in the field odds of getting claimed were pretty slim. The tech guys don't seem to know much about them either so anything that appears stock will probably pass.
