Al,

Did not know the NHRA dropped the 426-S (365 HP) all the way down to 291.

Always felt the 426-S was way overrated back in the day. But 291 HP....WOW !

One of our friend's ran a 64' Sport Fury in C/Stock in 1968..... It was a massacre.

Smartly switched transmissions to a 727 Torque-Flite, and moved over where C/SA was much easier.

Camshaft
Valve Train
Carburetor
Intake Manifold
Cylinder Heads
Compression

All needed help. Just like the 383's.
