I've been told a 1975 Chevelle is legal, not sure it came that way though.

73-75 are allowed the 236 peanut, 90 454ss truck uses the 360 peanut, 91-92 uses the 148, even smaller peanut port. Seems to be plenty of SS/GT 454's using the 236.

I remember hearing that Lingenfelter ran a killer peanut port combination in SS back in the day.

I know very little about factory stuff, and less about big block factory stuff. I have an engine on the stand in the shop out of an 80's 3/4 ton truck that will eventually find a home in my wife's 55' F100 (don't start....i know). Just a street truck. How do you identify the factory heads? What's good and what is worthless?

We raced Friday afternoon, Sat rain, Sun rain, so I really never got to dial the car in, I had a stumble on the launch which killed my 60-330, DA was 3253 on the best run, baro 27.80s. Never got to weigh the car because NHRA tech was to lazy to open the scale for me. The car hooked just fine but there was a stumble on the hit which I figured I had two more days to tune out but it rained both days. Timing was 35.5. Theres more there, just need more runs.

Runs in order:

1st pass, shut off 700 feet 660 6.746 1320 11.381 86.41 MPH
2nd pass shut off 1000 feet 660 6.719 1320 10.848 103.70 MPH
3rd pass run through though the 1320 on the rev limiter 660 6.726 1320 10.683 122.47 MPH


Car number 5252
