Oh boy, I can see those ring and pinion teeth bending now!

Tim Quigely's Biscayne was a blast to drive with a 283 and a four speed. It would be even better with a big block but I would bet it would be hard on parts even with the softer clutches available today.

If I am not wrong NHRA just lowered the 396/325 hp to 320 in the 68 chevelles. I would sure write them about a reduction in the big body too. That's 60 lbs. in I/sa. , something to think about. Rick .
