55-57 Stockers? - Page 4

T Pogue · 08-24-2013, 02:01 PM

Does anybody remember if the 459 was a replacement back in the Jr. Stock days, because I have Kyle Marshalls 57 Delivery and thats the manifold it has on it.

The 459 manifold is only good for 65 and 66 chevy 283 's

oh did I mention 57-61 283's...i'd kinda like it too

Jack, just so the new people understand. That intake was made legal long before I built my Stocker. I simply took what they gave me and everyone else who wanted to build a 4bbl 283 for those years. You know, including things like hoods, roller rockers, alum intakes, rods, deck heights, Edelbrock heads and now 3spd transmissions that werent originally available for a certain combo. I know you know, but the post reads like it was changed for me. I dont think I have that much clout....

I for one believe Stock Eliminator has never been more exciting and marketable with the old and new cars, and the young people today will embrace it.
LODRS and National events can be marketed by promoting today's muscle cars vs yesterday's.
Agree?

Danny, you & Randall are both right , you can go a lot faster to the index in S/S than Stock ... Carl & Hurley have done a great job to get to - 5 under in Stock ... The next 3 - 4 are very expensive & limited by the small Carb/ intake /Cam & hot weather ? The 57 (283) is a better combo
if you can get the later intake ... The 55-57 are all Super looking cars ...

Jack McCarthy · 08-25-2013, 07:07 PM

sorry wade didnt mean to single you out.. your name was mentioned in a prior post on the thread and well... you are the poster boy for 283's right now

.
yes it appeared in the 90's im sure they meant to supersede 457 but 459 appeared and was in there 7 years or so before don quinn found it and used it on bill belden's 65 chevelle, and of course it will not go away now.

we 57-61 283 guys would like to have it ok'd for our use also seems fair...

captain jack

good luck at indy !
