Darrel knows how to build a good engine that will pass all aspects of tech inspection. It takes a bit more time and money and maybe not everybody has sour grapes because someone went to the extra effort to go a little faster.

You are right the motor NHRA looked at was Keith's fault. So bring the hp factor back to where is was before he killed the combo

I also have a 70 Camaro and I would be right with you on that request but fat chance would be my guess based on the other '70 402's out there. Look at Ken Keir, and that isn't a Wikle engine either.

Doug, maybe you should put a stick in your car, because they never came with a automatic transmission from the factory. Tom

Just for the record....the motor torn down at the Indy Nationals was a 1969 375/396 in a 1969 Camaro(not a 1970 402). Everything was found to be legal except for the piston weight, which was 28 grams light. At the end of that season NHRA changed the rule to a piston/rod assembly weight, which would have made the aforementioned engine legal.

Keith,
Thank you for clearing that up, I thought I was losing my mind. Well, I already lost my mind, otherwise I wouldn't be fooling with all of this, I guess I thought I lost my memory. I remember you and I talked about this for an hour or so at Columbus a short time after it happened, and what was posted before you cleared it all up was not what I remembered. If memory serves correct, Schroeder bought that car as a running race car, the engine was not a Wikle, and all you did was put rings and bearings in it. At least that's what I remember, but then, I still don't trust my memory.

And after that they came to my shop in Wichita where Keith and I dyno'd and installed the Wikle engine. From there they went on to Pomona where Keith won the race beating Rampy in the final. Keith is the most competitive racer I have ever met and I'm glad to call him a friend. I'm also glad he isn't racing in C/SA anymore.

I don't have to ,I have a letter stating that you could order a 375 402 that's why its allowed.
