That's our website we made to follow the restoration of the car. Jr. Stocker it is, NHRA Indy winner and fully documented. We did not have the funds to purchase, rebuild, and run a correct Rochester Fuel Injection unit as the car did when raced, so we went with dual quads. The engine is not "jr. stock correct" internally, but looks so on the outside, is a authentic 283, and uses all vintage parts. We took a lot of time to make the car as authentic as possible to when it raced, and with what it cost to build that engine, it would have been a shame to come up under 300hp for the same price.
