Anyone racing a 60-62 Corvette in Stock ?

Terry Cain · 05-02-2008, 09:28 PM

L/SA
That would be a single 4 PG car?
I might have a set of virgin heads, intake manifold and a tricked carb for that combo.

Terry, I understand the car can use a 4GC or WCFB.....intake #3783244....head 520 or 896 Thanks,Wade

Wade,
Email me.
I can fix ya up. I'm not sure you can run the 4GC but if you can it's faster. I've got both and also a guy who use to run both types of carbs in Super stock who is good on them.
I know I've got the intake and heads also.
Email me.

No intake # info on Nhra Eng Spec ... what do you have and how do you verify it is correct???

Bub, I know you have been talking to Chris reference to this build. I can't wait to get up there to meet you. I have heard nothing but good about your ability. I spoke to Tex today at Richmond, He also said that you were the man! I got the Carb (4GC or WCFB), intake # (3783244 which is not listed), and head #s (520 & 896) information directly from Wesley Roberson. Thanks, Wade mahaffeymotorsports@hughes.net

Joe, I appreciate your offer to help. I am building a L/SA 60 and the 283 hpr is 230 NHRA rated @ 215 I am being told (by Mr. Wesley Roberson NHRA DIV4 official ) I must use the stock Corvette rear housing (third member type). I am awaiting a ruling on the use of a 12 bolt or olds rear for this build from Mr. Bob Lang thru Mr. Jim Collins DIV 2 Tech Director. You could e-mail me to let me know what you use.....I will let you know what I find out about this....should know something tomorrow while at Richmond.
Thanks again Joe, Wade

Sounds like a failure to communicate.
The IRS Vettes use a straight 12 bolt housing as a rule. Look at Sammy's or Dave Casey's

I think Jim Marshall is the only one still running the "stock" rear-end in a Corvette. (that's what Jim told me anyway)

Joe Santangelo Sr and I , raced a 283 61 Vette years ago . (make that decades ago) We had to live with 230 hp back then. The 245 hp , 2 -4 bbl wasn't too bad until the 350/255 Chevelles got popular.
Not much under the hood room . Of course ,you could leave the hood unlatched..... Nah, better not. It's illegal. Of course there's always thick body mounts...
