George is a lean mean machine, I think he's 80ish and still struttin his stuff.

I first met George at either the Spring or Fall Englishtown Swap Meet held at Raceway Park back in 1982 or 1983. He had a bunch of used Mopar parts for sale including three Max Wedge cross rams and matching cylinder heads. A few years later circa 1990 George told me and a buddy of mine he was planning to build a SS/A 1968 Barracuda. And the rest is history.

E/Gas ................... 11.00 - 12.49 Wt/CI {Weight-to-Cubic Inches}

Typically, most Mopar Guys were running 305 Cubic Inches {De-stroked 340} in E/Gas.

#3355 lbs. ~ 305 Cubic Inches = 11.00 Wt/CI

In Gas Class, you were permitted to add {+100 lbs.} of Ballast.
