Many,many moons ago,I had a good friend in Danville,New Jersey.He got a '61 Impala with a 250 horse 348 and a factory 3 speed.Along with that he got a wild hair to make a NHRA Stock Eliminator car out of it. It fit in O/S. 250 horsepower, 15 pounds plus driver. I think the index was a 13.30 or so.He got a good 4 jet, a tricked out 4 speed, 4.88's with a spool for the original rear end, somebody's good axles, and he flogged it into shape.He told me it went a lot of 13'0's,and a few 12.90's. This was in 1980-82,a three tenths under pass was a big deal then. He said that it was the combo that shouldn't have worked,but it did.
