Same engine in a chevy II is 236 that's 19 hp less. So if I would race a chevelle in SS/LA a 13 lb class it could be 247 lb lighter than a chevy II with the same engine. How much ET would that be worth .Also why would you what to run SS/LA when you could run SS/MA where there is 4 tenths difference in index and only 2 tenths between L and K. Tom

Tom,

If you can get a '65 Chevelle down to 2990 with driver for SS/LA -- you be cheatin'. Time to break out the old 4-door again. When we last ran it, it was 3460 lbs. for SS/MA. Now, it's only 3425 lbs. for SS/NA, and 3210 for SS/MA.

But heck, racing the Chevelle against your Nova II is like a Clydesdale against a throughbred. You deserve at least some of that 17 HP. \
