Why did you build your "slow" stock eliminator car?

I thought the 230 was discontinued by '67,, could be wrong.

I could build a 250, but I like the 230s. 230s were available through 1970. 250s are rated at 155 hp, the 230 is at 140. I don't think the extra 20 cubes are worth 15 hp, especially with the longer stroke.
