Re: Nhra no bigger than stock cam journals
 

Someone, somewhere, has to have an old NHRA book of tech info with the pre 1960 cars and classification guides whereby this old data would be able to be resurrected. Some collector or nostalgia freak needs to step up and offer to provide this stuff for possible resubmission. Anybody out there who does this willing to step up?No perfidy needed or desired here.

How about that historian that operates the RANCH in Whittier ??

Might be a place to start. Actually, there's lots of historians out there.

Greg Reimer and Chuck Norton.......I still have most of the old engine tech sheets from IHRA which are the same as the NHRA tech sheets from the 1970's. I will try to copy any you might want and send them to you if you want. Just let me know. My Phone # is 863-451-6289 and give me your address and I will mail them to you.

I remember sending the NHRA money and about a month later receiving in the mail a blueprint sheet for the desired vehicle.

It was even on nice paper with the NHRA logo in the background..

Now we have instant gratification..

Or so it seems?

Terry, I had a NHRA black book from '69-'70 that had the engine specs from that era, I sent it to Dwight, you might check with him, he may have scanned by now.

I would like to see a list of '68 - '70 engine specs of a FE 428 / 335 and today's parts. "Just for historical facts" he said with a smile.

And while we are at it look at the '70 - '71 440 / 390 385 engine.

Why stop there?
Probably the closest combo in the guide to being "correct" is your truck.

Re: Nhra no bigger than stock cam journals
 

Seems the original engine specs are out there for the 55-59 cars, how about the car classification guide? I have no interest in building an older car like that, but it would make for fun and interesting reading.
