MJ and i built a 61 2bbl first...at the time x/sa was pretty easy kicking pinto's butts... then (and i love when i hear guys whine about a rule change) nhra procalimed "no v-8's in w-x-y-z" (later added v) and instantly we had a 4500lbs flowerpot...then a 4bbl... then a 1960 instead of the 61 for a valve spring dampner and 400 rpms !!!!

built the car for under $2000 in 1982...
compared to then it is a pro stock 60 chevy wagon.
