I seem to recall that the McCormack car is a '67 that was re-trimmed as a '66. As for Vanke's car...No scoop...

I know you are, and it ain't gonna happen. Just like no one is going to be able to race a 68 Camaro with a 427 and a cowl induction hood and some bogus paperwork ,40 years after the fact.

There were 20 1967 L-88 vettes produced. The 1966 plymouth hemi cars numbered jn the thousands. We're not discussing a body/motor combination. We are discussing if there was a hood scoop/battery relocate option for this model. Big difference.

As far as I know all Street Hemi intakes have those two casting numbers on them. So to answer your question the 2780544 casting number is just one of the two casting numbers and not a separate number for a different design manifold.

Thank you for your posts. Very helpful

Based on that premise, cross-ram Z-28s should be legal. Keep talking.

I'm sure it's been discussed with NHRA...ask them. Maybe it needs an Edelbrock #.

Reference previous post. There was advertising for options but no order option code.

Never saw any of Arlens cars that didn't have his name plastered on them. Are you just trying to show what a stock 66 Belvedere I looked like??

No, that is Arlen's '66 Hemi Belvedere I. The team car to the '66 Hemi Belvedere was a '63 Max Wedge Plymouth Wagon that Arlen built for Bill Abraham, it was painted and lettered very similar to the Belvedere.
