You still have that stuff? How cool!

Ed,
When I started to get serious about running in NHRA back in the mid to upper 70's, I ran in C/SM in Modified Eliminator. I started with a 67 Nova, a real L79 SS car. I put a 305 together with the turbo head at first with an m22 4-speed with a 12 bolt rear out of a Camaro. Then after breaking the Trans a number of times went to a hemi 4-speed that I got from Toni File. We ran on 10 inch tires with frame connectors. Ran with the likes of Charlie Daniels. Just before the split to super Stock I went to the 461 heads or vice a versa. Those were the days that we had a real lot of fun, 10,000 rpm. Then I got divorced and quit racing. Then in 1988 came back out with the Nova with the big tires, 3 years later the Camaro that I am still running.
I still have an old set of turbo heads and some old 4 speed stuff. every thing else has be thrown out or sold.
