Of course NHRA would have nothing to do with it at the time.
The 396 / 425 would be a player at 385 which it is now. I cant agree more if you could get the 409/400 to run the wow factor would be through the roof.

Yes, he did. There were several of those cars run in the late 70s.

Tim Quigely's Biscayne was a blast to drive with a 283 and a four speed. It would be even better with a big block but I would bet it would be hard on parts even with the softer clutches available today.

If I am not wrong NHRA just lowered the 396/325 hp to 320 in the 68 chevelles. I would sure write them about a reduction in the big body too. That's 60 lbs. in I/sa. , something to think about. Rick .
