X2! The OEM's would consult with racers prior to submiting specs to NHRA.
Just like overlap on the Mopar Big Blocks; if I recall it was like 320 degrees in the spec sheet.

Does each of those tubes count as a cylinder? If so, it can't run V/SA - I think there are more than 6!

You should see the cost of the approved wood chips you have to burn in the gasifier to pass fuel check...

And it gives new meaning to the old phrase "put it to the wood!".
I like the paint.

That's a sleeper combo!! 351 V6 ! Solid lifter cam ! Rated at 125 HP! Idles around 400 rpm. With the high flow 350 CFM Stromberg 2 barrel. He is going to build a 6 into 1 header for it! Now if we can get some paperwork for an over the counter 780 Holley , and aluminum intake we would be talking!

Having a picture of Billy without a hat, is like a picture of a Yetti! Very rare.

Is the hacksaw used to adjust the length of the velocity stack(garbage can)?

Also, prudence demands a second fire extinguisher, possibly a third?!

Pontiac started all of that. I'll bet engines ran real good with 320* of duration!

To bad that's the way they came! Pontiac was one of the only manufacturers that put enough cam and valve spring in their performance engines. First computer designed cam to go in a production car, 1968 ram air 2 Firebird. That was the 041T cam used later in the Ram 4 cars.
