Re: Can this car be competetive?
studying the NHRA guides, at which I am admittedly a complete dunce, it appears the car only has to weigh 45 pounds more with the 327/275, and can run the same classes. Is that possible? I must certainly be reading that wrong...283/220-19.97/20.46/3895 lbs
327/275-16.93-17.35/3940 lbs---ok it falls higher natural, but a 3 seat appears to reach R/sa with 327---- am I doing this right? surely seems the 327 would be worth the 45 lbs-someone correct me I must be wrong |

ok got that---now in the engine blueprint specs, the only 327-275 listed, that i can see is 10.25 to 1 and holley carb-surely that is a nova/corvette deal, and not available in the big cars? I am almost old enough to remember these as new and i do not remember a holley carb'd 327 wagon (thanks mark) |

Re: Can this car be competetive?
See note # 8 on the carbs.
Lots of big cars had the Holley. The intake was cast with HOLLEY right on it. It was the small 540 cfm model
