Coolest or Oddest Combo.....

Old time SS racer · 01-28-2009, 09:19 PM

When SS classes expanded in 1972, there was a 1960 4 door Chevy Impala that had a 283 2bbl in SS/X. The story went that there were no jets in the carb and it was left loose on the manifold. Wouldn't idle worth a dang, but sure got plenty of gas and air at speed. I remember seeing it go against a SS/AA Hemi. What a spot. The Hemi probably had about 35 or 40 miles an hour on the Chevy in the lights.
