A decent start on a 1970s B/SM engine. Such is the state of Stocker racing in the 21st century. Haven't we come far?

If you want to know where that manifold came from just google direct connection catalog. It's in the 1975 version of the catalog. Read what the description says about the LD 340.

[Billy Nees]

Greg, it actually goes back further than that. It can be found in the old Hustle Parts catalogs. And the catalog clearly states that any part with a P prefix is an aftermarket part.

And what do both these clusters have in common......you guessed it.....Pat Cevengros.....

M.J., what always amazes me is how the NHRA Tech Dept. can constantly make mistakes, be shown with positive proof that have made a mistake and then deny or ignore the fact that they've made a mistake. Now I understand that they can't be an expert on each and every subject but there are Racers (dues-paying members, I might add) out there that are and they are ignored. Maybe it's time to start petitioning and protesting to insist that the SRAC have more of a say and maybe even veto powers over Glendora. It just keeps stinking more and more of buddy deals.

neither did any combo that got a stronger block,

[Billy Nees]

David, I'm missing your point about a stronger block. What does that have to do with aluminum intakes and heads? Do you mean that certain Stock combos get to use aftermarket blocks? If you do, there are just as many Mopar combos that can use aftermarket blocks as GM and FFFord and I actually agree with them being available. There would be a whole lot less Hemi cars out there without them.
Just FYI, if you hear of any approved aftermarket blocks for a Pontiac 301 or a Chevy inline 6, please let me know.
