Default Re: G/SA low qualifier at Thunder Road

All the 383 Dodge and Plymouth engines from 1963 to 1967 had an almost flat intake, 550 cfm afb carb, small exhaust valve heads, and a 430 lift cam. The factory rating horse power was to help in the showroom. Paul covered the 426 street wedge. Hats off to Jim Hale and John Shaul who found a way to make these combinations run very well. A lot of R&D. Not a fat wallet.
