They were never made as far as I know, the A's got the 273.

This is the new era of NHRA that doesn't matter just send a letter and have it added anyway.

A bodies never got the 318 poly, just the B bodies and trucks.

As far as I know, Schneider Cams will grind you any spec. poly cam you want. They will regrind your cam and I think they still have cam blanks.

The bottom end of the poly motor is the same as the LA motor. Crank, rods, etc. are all the same.

I know that (I raced a 62 Dart Wagon in G/SA).........I was trying to highlight was that the 260 HP of poly way too high compared to 318 Thermoquad
at 230 HP with way superior CFM carb!!!
