Bob Michael has a '62 GP which runs the same Tri-Power 389. Norman was thinking of trying to rig up a 421SD engine for his Cat. Don't know if that's still in the works, or not. It would be real cool !

Who knows about the last competitive 421SD Stocker, & when it last raced ?

Mark,
Do you remember Don Scinto`s SS Pontiac wagon?
I heard it was a low HP 389, because of the cam
in SS cam gets changed anyway, so it was fast
Any details?

Here's a wagon that was a Stock record holder. Don't have any info on it. But, It was in HPP mag. So, those who have that issue could tell us more.

I'm posting another wagon on the SS Pontiac thread, that was a MANY time record holder.

Since I have raced Pontiacs for 40 years I love them all. One that comes to my mind is that big Pontiac Wagon I think it ran SS/O Jack Mullins. Car just happened to have Turks Auto Salvage on the lower rear Quarter. Secondly would be anything Bob Michael was racing. Presently to me Chris Stephenson's Firebird is impressive.
The first stocker that ever caught my attention was a 69 Firebird C/SA of Pete and Wolfe Flescher (?) back in the Motion Raceway Days

Cool Thread
