396 Chevy combo......

We did a little researching in the pits at Seattle this weekend and had a nice conversation with Cal and Mary Ann Method who had her Nova in "A" trim for the divisional. They had a "359" intake on the car and the GMPP aluminum heads. The feeling there was that another hit might negate the advantage of the aluminum heads and they might go back to the cast iron heads. Of course many racers have built up inventories of parts over time and can change back and forth as the need arrives. I guess for racers starting out with this combo it makes sense to go out of the GMPP catalog, at least to get the new car up and going.
My 2 cents.................... Danny Durham
