Aa/sa class dq at denver

Would we be talking about guys running 383 & 400 low blocks as a 440 because the current tech guys didn't know the visual exterior difference in blocks? As Marvin Gay sang "I Heard it through the Grapevine."

Here is a "legal" replacement crank for a 350 SBC 2 piece rear main seal ..

It is manufactured by Callies and it is part number SAF113-CM..

Take a look because its been a while since we raced a SBC in Stock..

This crank has the flange turned down, all the rod journals drilled for lightening, profiled counterweight and it has been bull nosed..

How could this crank be a legal replacement???

I couldn't upload the pix, so just Google it for a pix...

The barn burned down years ago and the horse has long since gone to the rendering plant.

Stock and Super Stock are still great classes. More cars in both now than in many years and growing. It is what it is.

No,that's not it. I seem to recall NHRA lightening the piston/rod assy. weights to keep all of the 440+6 stuff from flying apart. I also seem to recall that right after that, they started staying together..... and going really fast.

Todd can correct me but “Paper Car, Do not Lean” is one neat piece of lettering on a NASCAR Hemi car.
