Ed,

This is great news and plenty of time to grow this list even further!

My interest in the SS/K shootout and the 283 goes back to my very first street car which was a brand new Midnight Blue 1964 Chevy11 Sedan with a 283/195 hp 2bbl, with a Muncie wide ratio 4 speed, and a 355 posi.

Of coarse about as quickly as I could my buddy's and I installed a Carter AFB D series 4 bbl carb, dual exhaust, and 327/365 solid lifter camshaft. We also slapped on a set of Atlas bucron rear tires and this car was suddenly transformed in to a 7,000 rpm rocket.

It was also a big plus that the damn thing only weighed a whopping 2750 pounds according to the shipping weight on my registration. In hindsight had I never had this car I doubt I would have ever graduated to the drag strip.

What a blast!
