I see the Bow Tie folks dumped the 450 inch motor? I'm hearing all kinds of rumors, but I don't want to promote any tainted information. Pretty reliable sources though. I'm sure the Shadow knows. Now is the Shadow gonna speak up?

We are not going to get a fair shake from the NHRA, it's not their priority and we've flogged the Max Wedge's, 427" Camaro"s and Ford's to the Nth degree...there's no more hp left to find while the new cars are full of potential. So, how do I become competitive with the new cars that are in my same class and can run about a second faster?

The new cars are here and they ain't going away and without taking the body off the frame I can't be competitive BUT if I could keep my dial in going into a class race I could be competitive.........just thinking!

JimR

The low comp 63 Max Wedge went from 415 to 405 to 415 to 409 in 50 years. The big 3 were pretty close before the new cars. There isn't a single 63 Max in the country that's a threat to any record or heads up win, those who run them only do so because they love them. It's all politics.

So, it's not based on the BBC, which was around before the Cleveland?
Maybe there was Clevelands in '64/'65, and I just had not seen one.
Were you racing, or even around then? LOL

Can you insert the 9" 12 bolt conversion pumpkin in these and use the GM gears?
Or does it come that way?
Or must you use the Ford design pumpkin?
