I grew up watching those cars.Can anyone tell me the specs on those High Winding Motors.Im curious to know what most people ran.Cubes,Stroke,Bore,and what Heads they ran back then.Those Motors were way ahead of their time.

Love the videos - would like to see more videos of the old Super Stock and Modified cars, if anyone has some to share.

The audio really brings back memories!

All
Would it be out of the scope of modified vettes, to show Vinny vs. Kopp at Indy in 1990?
I have this video with Vinny B.... rolling into the water, in the semi's that is eargasstic!

Super Mod designated carb, LB/CU IN. wt break, only class legal SS chassis. (No FWD conversions)Stick or Trans Brake (No exotic trans). Even better would be SEALED Block and Heads from GM as Round track motor.
This is a FLAT playing field bring your own old , non competitive SS car and have cheaper Fun..
