I built a 1969 brookwood chevy wagon with a 265 hp 396 2bbl rochester in the late seventies it had alot of potential ,I just ran it a few races it had to weigh 4705 lbs and ran Q/SA best run was 14.04 on a 14.17 index and I didnt have enough gear in it to help it run in high gear but it was a terror 1st and 2nd it would put 4 cars out on Jerry McClanahans Q car but he would reel me back in his car was running 13,80's very cool car it got alot of looks it would wheelstand 3ft on the launch , remember seventies rules legal cams lift duration ,and overlap, no low gear trans, factory pistons etc I had about $2000. dollars in it total it needed a 6.14 gear i started with a 5.57 gear. those were the days $2000 dollar Stockers.Painted it in my driveway Grumpy Jenkins refrigerator white.
