Interview: #63 Lysol Stock Car

with chevrolet so 94 we took one of our old short track cars and put aluminum body on it this is a 94 chevrolet aluminum uh we ran v6s back then too anyway so we set this up as a road course car for 94 and ran it uh with jim bound as a driver and lights off the sponsorship for the first year and at the end of 94 lo and behold they changed the aero rule so we decided to go back to pontiac because they had a nice small team program they were pretty good for helping out small teams of supplies so we went back to pontiac so this was our oldest chassis at the time it wasn't going to be worth it to re-body it as a pontiac again so we sold it to a man uh named tom forgione in new york and he wanted to go bush north racing which is like a sister series you're familiar with like arca that's like a sister series that's lower than cup but they use similar cars so this car fit right in at busch north so we sold it to him complete with the odd fire v6 turnkey ready to go just as you see it today sold it to him so he kept it and he ran a few races at watkins glen that's what it's currently set up for and anyway he got tired of doing that he ran with svra for a while then it's racing in the 90s even when it wasn't that old and uh he kept it around and just lo and behold through facebook i've always wanted to build one of our old cars because you know a lot of race car guys are nostalgic but some of them aren't we didn't have any cars left over and so i was like i'm gonna build aluminum you know because that was my favorite car i was born in 93 so this is probably the first one i saw so i went to searching i said nascar aluminum and guy said yeah i got this one for sale and it looks exactly like this and it turns out it was our car i found it back in february uh it had been updated with the uh v8 motor yeah what's the setup in here so like i said 487 to 94 they ran v6s there was buick and chevrolet v6 is for the gm guys four guys didn't have a big program but they ran odd fire 280 cubic inch uh basically a 4.3 but just to the max products top in common pin crank anyway so in 95 the bush series went to uh v8 engines so they were an 18 degree uh valve angle v8 358 just like the cup series so when tom bought this car and went bush north racing in 95 he put this 18 degree 358 small block in it so it's making about 720 horsepower basically turned it into a cup okay so this is a period correct 18 degree smallest pretty much it's a it's a very correct for 19.95 okay so it's uh…
