Your Tiger is amazingly similar to the one I built back in 1970. I had a 302 block, 351 Windsor heads, a Crane H303 hydraulic, a 650 double pumper, a 3.07 rear ( posi) and a top loader with a 2.72 first gear. It turned 13 flat at 107 mph, got 26 mpg and I was NUTS to sell it. This car was 40 years ahead of its time - fast and fuel efficient.

A decent time - power to weight baby.

Good off the line start. Makes me want to shift a toploader 5 bolt right now, but I am 10 years behind schedule! I guess that would make my 1/4 mile time 10 years and 12 seconds run. 66'T1A 260/5.0 rollered with Alan Roots.
What did the car do in the 1/4 mile?
How much motor do you have?

It turned a 12.78 @ 108.29 in 2006. It was the first and last pass ! Unfortunately the battery developed an internal short and our race day was over. I have been thinking of trying to get back to the track one of these days. Its amazing how fast 2 years goes by !
The original 260 is on a stand in my garage. It now has a 1987 302 BLOCK : X303 HYD. ROLLER CAM,CAST IRON WINDSOR JR. HEADS,EDELBROCK RPM INTAKE,HOLLY 650 DOUBLE PUMPER,TOPLOADER 4 SPEED,Spicer Thorton 3.31
