Re: Factory Stock Showdown - Norwalk
I don't see Don Fezell on the sheet. Is he not there, or back on the dyno finding more power?

A 302 Ford went 179. Good lord that is impressive. What weight is that? Unbelievable

Re: Factory Stock Showdown - Norwalk
All of the Mustangs at Norwalk were running the 327 engine which is a new combination for 2019. It is based on the 302 block with a longer stroke. The word in the pits at Norwalk was that the 179 mph speeds were bogus because the nose of the car tripped the speed clock, not the front wheels.

Don was entered, but he withdrew before the deadline on Monday June 17. Jim D'Amore was building a 351 for Don that he expected to have at Norwalk. I don't know if the engine wasn't completed, or it was completed and he hurt it while testing.
