And those Chebbies that came with 2 speeds should never have been given 3 speeds, just sayin'.

Re: Hooray!
 

Absolutely 2 speed charity is total BS.
Chuck you don’t need the intake or the heads. You were plenty fast before
I. no. About this!

Re: Hooray!
 

I agree Billy......I tried to get NHRA to do that 150# on the seat spring deal back in around 1986. It fell on deaf ears ! Now look at what we have. Expensive cams, expensive lifters, and solid lifters where hydraulics should be. The higher RPM's call for more expensive everything else. Like I said before. NHRA STOCK Elim. DIED back in 1985 ! Its a Jr. Super Stock today.

Re: Hooray!
 

ROTS OF RUCK with that. Then NHRA would have to hire competent tech crews and inspect all those stockers like we did many years ago.

Re: Hooray!
 

[QUOTE=Greg Hill; NHRA needs to be more knowledgeable about these older combinations, there are still a couple of guys around that know and they should use their knowledge to keep from making these mistakes.

LOL.......Thanks for the chuckle. Most of the old guys that knew this stuff have either retired, gotten PO'ed and quit, or died ! The "King Tutts" at NHRA would not listen anyway !

Re: Hooray!
 

I agree with you on this 100% and I'm a Chebbie guy.

Re: Hooray!

Re: Hooray!
 

You are correct Jack.....The 58-61 Turbo glides slipped my old worn out mind for a moment.

You are correct Jack.....The 58-61 Turbo glides slipped my old worn out mind for a moment. Its been a while but maybe someone can remember if the 348's were the ones with the turbo glides as an option. Not sure about the 283's. Like I said its been awhile.

Re: Hooray!
 

They put turboglides in 57s too!
