Many moons ago, I had one with a 283/220 horse PG combibation.It had a 12 bolt, and went into P/SA and with the 220 horse factor x 16 pounds +170 for driver's weight,it weighed in at 3690 minimum. It ran a 6.14 gear and I left at 4000 against the converter,shifted at 7400 and went through the lights at 7800 at 98 miles per. Never blew that thing up, what with cast Badger pistons and stock valves and all, but if it would have broken the engine in the lights, the destruction would have been complete. A 66 Chevelle station wagon was an easier car for that class. The 427/390 with the automatic sounds neat, however.

Not trying to change the subject here but Greg, do you recall the best times for that P/SA effort years ago? A friend of mine was curious....he had a '65 4-dr. in P/SA with a OEM-piston motor and went some 13.50's @ 97 with a 5.57. Now getting back to the thread, many years ago, I saw one of the most famous 427-Big Chevy stockers...the "Lead Sled" '69 wagon of Tom Aiken from Iowa, I believe. It was at an AHRA national event, and I think he won that day. I think he was AHRA National Champ for a year or too, and set records as well. Does anyone remember the car? Was that a 427/385hp?

Of course the veteran racers here will probably remember the '66 Biscaynes of Willey Cossey, Isykowski, and later Bobby Blankenship...and perhaps others. Darn, I hope I got the spelling on the first two right!

Tim Quigley ran a 66 Biscayne with a 396 auto for awhile. He later changed to a 283. We took him to the dark side and put a Jerico in it. It was an O or P stick car. A real blast to drive! Had set the O and P records several times with it. Went 12.19@106 in O back when that was fast in O. Never really had a good clutch in it. It was so violent, it would rip the center out of the clutch at times!
