dahkahuna · 01-28-2009, 09:26 AM

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.

I'll bet I still have heads, intake and carb off a 396-265 hp. Sure not many of those in these parts.

I watched them change the engine in the Inch Pincher at Indy. From the minute they pulled it into the pits until the new engine was running was 20 minutes. The new motor was completely plumbed and wired and everything was a plug in. I watched them say on the BJ auction that GM never put a 2 barrel on a big block and I can name several of them including the 396 which a friends mom had
