Frankie,
1972
Typical situation, kid has a 66' Chevy II with a 283 2-barrel and automatic. He wants to go the perfornance route, and race the
car occasionally (twice a month). He purchases a 350 4-bolt main from Chevrolet, Gets a set of used 'fuelie heads', an aluminum DP high-rise intake and 780 Holley (vacuum secondary). Throws on a set of
Appliance or Cyclone (cheapie headers). Gets a set of 4,10 gears, and a set of wide tires (G-60 x 14"). Pops in a Turbo 350.
Goes to the track, and would have to run C/MP or D/Gas. That would have been a one-time racer.
With the Street/Comp class., he could have easily run the
B/SC class (13.50 ET), and be pretty much right on. if needed a little more UMPH, he could easily add on another performance part.
The other way, his 350 LT-1 in a 66' Chevy II would be rendered useless at the track..,,,,,,,,,,,,Smart Marketing
