Re: Why No 421 Super Duty in current NHRA Guide?
No big deal, I had one of those motors out of a wrecked LW car in my 57 Ford along with the aluminum T-10 4 speed. Me and a buddy bought the engine & trans for $600 off the owner who had no insurance on it. My buddy later changed to a hydraulic cam and put it in a new 67 F100 when he got home from the army {you just drill the plug out in the cam gallery}

Re: Why No 421 Super Duty in current NHRA Guide?
There are guys who know all about all the popular Ford models used for drag racing. Some know about all the Mopar models. Others know about Olds models.
Well, ya'll get the picture. I know very little about any brand except Pontiac. And as anyone can tell, I'm not an expert on Pontiac. But, I have done some research & have accumulated quite a few Pontiac pics. After lookin over this thread, it occurred to me that lots of guys here may know very little to almost nothing about a '63 421SD engine or any of the lightweight Pontiacs. The 1st 2 pics below show the "Swiss Cheese" frame. The next 3 show what I assume is a re-creation of a '63, with the hood scoop. I've read that those scoops were actually bought from Ford. They came on some Ford trucks. I remember seeing a few of 'em on Ford trucks, back in the day. I especially remember some F-750 dump trucks which had the scoops. This is a link to a Google search which shows several trucks with the scoops. https://www.google.com/search?q=f-75...DNpqLVFSc5xFOM Below are pics of the Royal Pontiac '63 B/FX class winner, & Arnie Beswick's A/FX '63. The last pic shows a '63 which was running E/SA. So, you guys figure out what engine it was running. |

1963 Cat Ragtop
3833/313=12.25 for E/SA=12.00 class in 1965 Lumley & Shaw set the E/SA record at 13.89 in May 1965 at Amarillo. It took me a while to figure out that the 389/313-6v 389/315-6v 389/318-6v are all the same engine, just slightly different compression. |
