Now I know that both of those guys are capable of swapping a set of heads or a motor but I think that somebody in the Tech Dept. should at least wander over and pull off a valve cover and check some casting #s. We're not only talking about a World Champ on the line here but more importantly to many Racers we're talking about combo averages.

Just an FYI NHRA, if it's a 350/300, he's got the wrong hood on the car. ;-)
The 350/300 being at 307 now (with help from Joe S.) is a natural E car. He had the flat hood on the car all last year, which is fine for the. 350/250 and 350/255, but he did run a few races claiming a 350/300, but the car still retained the flat hood. It would have been nice for someone to take a look at that, especially because he is one of the reasons that combo got hit after last year. The good thing is none of the 350/300 cylinder heads have the same markings on the front as the 441 head on the 255, so all you would have to do is peek under the hood to figure out which cylinder head is on it.
