I love those cars, there's a whole lot of super stocks I saw at GLD last summer, they were AWESOME, and they all had cool names, lol!
that's a badass car
gotta love the 68 hemi cars! the most untouchable cars of their time!
And they ran 14's out the door. Crazy how times have changed isn't it???Quote:

The Hurst cars ran 10's I believe out the door, had slicks and headers sold with the car.Quote:

Yeah, those redline tires weren't quiet up to the task at hand. Poor tires:rolfQuote:

I agree on the Hemi domination ,,, 2 carbs also help since chevy never had a 2 4 BBL set up...Quote:

The 283 cu in (4.6 L) V8 was introduced in 1957. It was a version of the 265 cu in (4.3 L) with a larger bore at 3.87 in (98 mm). There were five different versions ranging from 185 hp (138 kW) to 283 hp (211 kW) depending on whether a single carb, twin carbs, or fuel injection was used. Power was up a bit each year for 1958, 1959, and 1960.
also in 1962-64 the 409 11.0 1 compression motors had the 2 -4bbl set up....
