Default Re: Indy 62 Pics

No, the mystery motor of '63 was the one they ran at the Daytona 500 that year, driven by Junior Johnson, John Rutherford, Rex White and Ned Jarret. GM was about to get out of racing so each of them took a turn at leading the race before sliding back in the field. GM was being hassled, at the time, by anti-trust actions and racing was drawing too much attention to them. It was what they called the "porcupine" head and was the prototype for the 427 Big Block, which later was introduced first as a 396.

The Z-11 motor was a stroked 409 ( stroked to 427"), with new heads, a two piece dual quad manifold, different cam and lots of aluminum body parts - only available in an SS Impala.

and yes Tony, Glen Campbell is alive and well as a thriving Chevrolet dealership on Transit Rd., in Williamsville, NY
. I thought you were a CA boy - how did you know that???
