350/255 Chevy

[Rich Biebel]

I don't know how to post pictures.....

But if you Google Dave Boertman's Biscayne....

You'll see his car that won big in 1970...…He won the first Summernationals held at York and was World Champ, I think with it....

Yellow 2 dr sedan.....N/SA and a 350/255

Many very successful racers jumped on that engine combo....

No way it was 40 hp lower than a 10-1 engine.....and they knew it....

It became one of the most popular engine combos in Stock and SS for years and years and won many many races.....

They must have made a lot of 441 heads cause they are still out there and were only used for 1 year on 350's....

They did put them on some 1970 cars including some 400's IIRC but with different exhaust valves and steam holes......I think !

Dan, I would check on roller cams & lifters in Stock class ??? Only if they came with those cars... Also remember there's a Big drop on running a 2bbl vs a 4bbl Q-jet ??? Talk to Billy & Marc & Bruce Noland about running 2bbl cars ???? They can help you !!

This car was originally owned by Bob LaSala.
He ran it with the 300hp engine in J/SA.

Had a hard time making it run the index until Woodro built the engine.

Dan is correct, NHRA only lowered the HP on 69 full size wagons!

Dwights site is informative but incorrect.

Thank you..
It was lowered several times. Originally 280 to 275.

Located all the dates.
Bob's wagon dropped to 272 (1/1/2018), then briefly 267 then to 263 (1/1/2019)…!
