Did any of the A990 cars (or 1964 Hemi cars for that matter) race in NHRA with a SINGLE Quad Hemi?

Reason I ask is I'm trying to find a combo that would have fit the Wt/HP=7.00-7.49 class back then.

All the Hemi cars are too light, W/P=6.xx, and all the MaxWedge cars are too heavy, W/P=7.56 or more.

For example, McCandless won SS/D=7.00 class at 1969 Indy.
Drag News just says "64 Dodge", no detail. I thought his cars were 65's anyway.

Mancini 64 Dodge won SS/DA=7.00 class also at 69 Indy, with Wren as R/U, 64 Plymouth.

Then Costa won SS/CA=7.00 class at 71 Indy, says 65 Plymouth, again no detail.

The factored dual quad race hemi A990 cars are too light for this class, they ran a class up in the W/P=6.50 class, so I wondered what engine these guys had in there to run W/P=7.00 class.

See this other thread (pg 5, 8, 9, 10) for some relevant discussion:
