I want to thank all you guys for jumping in. I was pretty sure I had this one right, but I've got more "bullets in my belt", now,, besides, I even went as far as to check out the NHRA classification guide and you all know what I didn't find in there. I'm going to send these yahoos a link to our thread here, then sit back and enjoy the ride. I've known them all since the '60s when we were in school, so this is just the latest round in our always evolving life story, where they've gotten me plenty of times. Merry Christmas everyone.

You know, this is a lot like the argument I've had several times with Chevy guys that think 1957 Chevy's came with a 327.

They did, all those guys that were winning those Junior Stock Classes from 1966 thru 1969 were running 327's in their 1957 cars, while claiming they were 283's. |

A couple years ago Mr. Norm's tried to release "recreations" of the SS/CA package car that never was, maybe that's where the confusion arose?
IIRC, it was supposed to use a 440 shortblock with Max Wedge heads and intake. |

Ed,
In the Northeast, (New York , Connecticut and Milton, Vermont and Orange Dragstrip in Massachusetts. Nearly the whole lot of 57' Chevy's were running 327's while claiming a 283 in Stock Class. In 1968, I saw my fair share of 57' Chevy BelAir's running a supposed 283/270 HP Dual-Quad in I/Stock, hitting 12.90's while on the brakes, on a regular basis. These guys went from running 14.10's to 12.90's (on the brakes) in the span of 1-week, after getting their engines 'done'. Last edited by Paul Ceasrine; 12-26-2012 at 01:11 PM. |
