Trust me I remember all the cars you mention.........

The CJ Heads had a reputation for the seats moving on the end cylinders once they were torqued. It was a royal PITA to do a VJ with torque plate on the heads......

I did head prep for years .......Our shop gid a great deal of machine work for T/K's......for many years.......I did heads....rods...blocks.....for well over 10 years......I know the life.....very well

I had/have a pretty complete head shop in my garage and built many engines and did heads in there for years........I still do an occasional set and have a pair of heads to freshen up this weekend....Brodix....bracket car...
Ahhhh the good ole days. But back on the subject of the thread.......I always liked the Bennett & Saranni (sp?) Camaro (one bad ride in the day) in SS/I. They were tough and good people to race against and it seemed like it was Morgans Mustang and Ron Saranni's 350 Camaro in the final a lot of the time for points races and just money meets. One race at Atco was for the Div.1 championship and those two were in the final. Whoever won took home the championship as they were dead even in points. I dont remmeber the exact year. The 5 amber (remember those) tree came down with Morgan in SS/GA (with a fastback) and The Camaro in SS/I. Different classes but the spot was almost heads up as they ran off of records back then. The Camaro broke on the line (engine) and morgan cruised to his first Div. Champioship. I was sorry the engine expired for Carl and Ron but with the win I felt a lot of pride with being involved in a small way. Those days are history but great memories,

Anything with a stick in it. I am biased towards Fords but will cheer for any brand as long as they's shiftin'

Agreed - his performance is consistently overlooked and/or ignored - but, he doesn't race much and that might be the reason.
