With the recent references to Happy Hemi Day 4/26, amongst others in this forum amongst others, I hope you all in Stock/Super Stock remember that this was also Muscle Motor Month (with reference to either the cubic in displacement or advertised hp rating of Muscle Car engines), and last week with an extension from 4/21 to today as 4/30 of Muscle Motor week, made this month of April the most powerful month of the year for gearheads!
To wit: 4/01 AMC 4/02 Chevy 4/09 Chevy 4/13 Chrysler...per Steve Wann and his Mr. 413 4/21 Pontiac "Poncho" 4/25 Factory hp rating of the 426 Hemi, and the '71 LS6 454 Chevelle mill 4/26 Yep it's a Hemi!!!! 4/27 Chevy (including the Z11 '63 Mystery Motor), Ford's Hi Rise 427 well known in '64 Fairlane Thunderbolts, and the Ford SOHC 427 as well. 4/28 Pontiac & Cobra Jet Ford 4/29 Boss Ford 4/30 Chevy hp rating of the Z11 Mystery Motor. I'm certain there's some other hp ratings and possibly c.i. displacements of engines that fell between April 1-30, but this made for the most powerful month of the year, don't ya think???? 'til next year....
