I have been ice racing for a couple of years now and this past weekend saw the end to my current car (4 cyl, FWD, spectacular crash). I've long been a six fan and since I'm contemplating jumping to the RWD class I'm curious about using the small six. The engine rules are simple, the engine (type not actual displacement) must have been available in the car and must be stock appearing. The stock appearing is a little loose as all the competitive V8s are running headers and a Holley four barrel. So I would say I could get away with headers, maybe a 2 barrel adapted, but probably not an aluminum head or triple carbs. By the way I've been told the competitive V8's are making 400 HP. That is rather silly considering this is really jalopy racing, but you know how it goes. My thought is that with the light six up front I can run less ballast in the back, with a light car such as a Fairmont as apposed to the full size Caprices, Crown Vics, etc that dominate now. By the way this is a rubber on ice class, no studs, on a half mile oval. What do you guys think and what do you suggest??? Should I have asked the roundy-round forum? I was unsure.
