This old thread:

helps identify one of the many, many, many (that means 3) stock Fords:
D/SA Linda Pleva 67 Gal XL/LTD 427/410hp automatic!
(So many solid lifter 427 Ford AUTOMATICS in NHRA history and yet you could never get one from the factory... then again Chevy got their hydramatic sedan deliveries, and Mopar got their 383/343-in-the-trunk combo. You'd think the factories would have offered some of these combos, they did so well in NHRA.)

A/S Schumacher 67 Fairlane 427/425 factored to 445hp
B/S Glidden 65 Gal XL 427/425 factored to 445hp

I will have to guess at the others later, so many excellent results/record sheets I have now thanks lately to Tom!
