Hemi Head Ruling

[Jeff Teuton]

This class was better when 9.00 was good and 8.99 was good for a starting line celebration. Now you got a pro stock car wrapped in a 68 Cuda or Dart body. It is so far out there, and the barn door has been open so long, the farm animals are now sleek low slung panthers. I wonder just how many could stand a Wesley inspection; motor, body, driveline, FRAME, and other stuff. I made templets for NHRA for the bodies that fit like a glove. Naturally NHRA refused to use them. I will offer them again. They were made off of old non-molested cars. SS/AH is still the most populated class in all of Super Stock and they do deserve special treatment, so write the rules on what is out there. It is impossilbe to regulate it at this point, leave the index @ 9.30 and give them modified rules. Nothing changes and they can then have 92 bolt holes machined off, still in SS. They don't stand up any move like the Hemis of old, don't really look like the old stuff, and if the cam's were any higher in the block, they would have a chandlier on them instead of lifters which those are bigger, moved, angled, sorta like this body I live in. Anybody really know where the steering really goes on a 68? Maybe I will make up a tech card just for the entertainment of those interested. And my Brother Joe and Nephew Lil Joe have 3 of those things, and over the years we have had many 68's. Pictures then and now will scare you. Hell, I believe I got .25 cents worth here.
