hey hey hey, Bruce... that's not very nice.
It's only 2 pounds... and is there to test the durability of connecting rods.

Don Fezell's Jenkins/Strickler Old Reliable Z-11 brought $525K at Mecum's, his black Z-11 brought $340K.
The 409 based cars are great. The pistons are no heavier than some of the Chrysler Hemi pistons.

Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
Years ago, I built a rather stock 409, and the piston with the pin,no rings,weighed 1002 grams. That rotating assembly probably acted like a huge auxiliary flywheel in addition to the regular flywheel. It sure left like a cannon ball.

Re: the best 1960 stock elim. car
Hey ya'll, I realize this is an old thread.
But I just now ran across it, by accident. Since I'm a Pontiac guy, I'll name a few '60's Stock Pontiacs I liked. (1) There were some 389 Tri-Power '60 & '61 models that did good. Gary Moore was '68 div 4 Stock champ & set the F/S record at the '69 Winter Nats, in a '61 model. (2) Somebody already mentioned the '62 421SD powered Pontiacs. I really liked those, too. Don Gay drove an A/S class winner. There were quite a few strong ones. (3) There were the 421SD powered A/FX Tempests & B/FX Cat class winners, in '62 & '63. I think the FX classes were included in the Top Stock category. (4) The Knafel Pontiac Tri-power '66 GTO won lots of races in '66. The Royal Pontiac '66 also ran strong. (5) The "Limelighter" '67 GTO was a nat record holder. (6) There have been too many strong running '68 Birds to list here. I'll just name 1. Truman Fields bought it new. It won Indy twice, along with lots of other wins. Probably the most famous '68 Bird drag car. (7) Then there were the '69 Goats, especially RAIV powered Judge models. Some were nat record holders. Lots of Pontiac dealers sponsored 'em, in '69. We'll hey, those here who are familiar with my posts know I could go on & on naming Pontiacs & posting pics. But I'll be nice on this one post.
