Back in 1970, a friend in HS had a 57 T Bird with a 312, that would be a cool car to run. A 58 Fury like Christine with a dual quad 350 rated at 310 HP would be moderately competitive, basically a 383/343 with a smaller bore and a little less cam lift, I think NHRA want's all the old cars and old farts to go away, in a way I see their point, our time has come and gone.
