Re: Aa/sa class dq at denver
No,that's not it. I seem to recall NHRA lightening the piston/rod assy. weights to keep all of the 440+6 stuff from flying apart. I also seem to recall that right after that, they started staying together..... and going really fast.

The '64 and '65 Hemi VIN's are known. There are NO factory "Nascar" motor cars. There were 110 '64 Dodge and Plymouth lightweights (55 each), and 70 '64 Dodge and Plymouth steel nose hardtops (35 each, with aluminum scoop ONLY, all other body panels were regular production steel, and they had a FOUR headlight grille) that had the RACE Hemi, with TWO-four barrels. The Hardtops had Carters, and the Sedan lightweights had Holleys. The "restored" Nascar Hardtop floating around is the steel nose car Jim Hale was running around 1973-74...it acquired the Nascar items during its restoration...along with the story. |

Todd can correct me but “Paper Car, Do not Lean” is one neat piece of lettering on a NASCAR Hemi car.

Re: Aa/sa class dq at denver
Any Pontiac V8 stocker is just about the same way. But we need replacement castings for SBC engines because they are hard to find. Lol

Re: Aa/sa class dq at denver
The first few Sedans had Carters on them, with Chrysler shipping the Holleys later. Once the Carters were found to be the obstruction on the performance of the Hemi, the rest of the lightweight cars were produced with the Holleys. The Hardtop cars, which I should add were 440 trimmed Dodges, and Belvedere trimmed Plymouths, had the Carter's on them since these were intended to be a "street" car, and the Carter had a choke, unlike the Holley.

Re: Aa/sa class dq at denver
Had no idea they made 70 steel bodied hard tops. I thought it was way fewer. Have only seen photos until I saw one at the Winter Nationals. It had one carburetor and I thought it was not real.
For sure it would have been one wicked street car. |
