    may i suggest - Instead of Eagle - go with "Eagle 1" for 2 reasons:
    1 - there is NO WAY this is the only one ya'll build
    2 - as a nodd to the old "USA 1" monster truck, you're keeping a heritage name also - to go with the heritage track.
    lastly - this is just awesome. that is all !

    To honor the legacy of a true MUSCLE car like a 196 camaro I believe a big block needs to be had. Steve Morris SMX comes to mind. Nelson race engines also has some great stuff. Twin turbo or blower doesn’t matter either way. I big block is destined for that car. Also, while HEMI’s are great engines it would be a crime to put a HEMI in a Chevy. If you want a HEMI build a classic dodge charger/challenger. Cleetus I love your channel and wish nothing but the best for you and your team. Go get that 5 second run in style

Small block de-stroked 400 .30 over, 11:1 pistons, 2 holley 4 bbls , 5:88 gears in the back. low 5's in the 1/8th on a street legal car. Not bad for back then. I'm retired but my nephew still races, he does both stock car and drag racing and his new toy is a 68 Nova with a 528 ci bbc and a holley 4500 dominator built to the gills.
