The 352 is an FE. It was used in the late 50's and early 60's

The engine in question is a 302 based motor (like a 347sbf) its just 352 cubic inches.

Mike,
That is exactly what I meant. Heck, if they can buy the class guides, they might as well elminate those pesky little cars that could potentially embarrass their science rockets. nhra would go for that if one of the OEMs asked for it. These guys certainly have their hands in the cookie jar.

Greg Hill is the smartest man at the drag strip, just ask him. It can only be a soft or hard combo if Greg thinks it is. It's only a good rule if Greg thinks it is. Everyone else’s opinions are wrong if you don’t agree with Greg.
Give up on bitc$ing about the new cars. No one made you build two 1970's camaros.

Charley,
You may say you know Greg, but, you obviously don't. Many people support his efforts on this issue.

Charley Downing · 03-31-2010, 08:49 AM

Yes and some don't

Charley,Charley,Charley

I'm slowly losing (some) respect for!

ps I'm sure you dont care, especially since I dont post my name, but I do know and talk to you at the races.

Good luck with your new ride!

Greg Hill · 03-31-2010, 04:43 PM

Charley I can't believe you would say something so stupid. There is no argument from anyone who is telling the truth that all these new crate motors are way under rated. You are either ignorant or trying to convince yourself that taking advantage of your fellow racers is okay. Oh by the way did Bob give you the money to finish your mustang yet.

Charley Downing · 03-31-2010, 07:39 PM

Greg why do you and Spoon think I have no money? Yes I do work part time for my father on the farm and do to the lack of jobs in Michigan I’m currently working full time for less money so I can still help out at home. But how would both of you know how much I have or haven't spent? Greg before you start to throw stones about someone spending money on there children’s race car you should look in the mirror at how much you spent on your own sons car. I really fail to see how anyone’s personal finance’s is anyone’s business. If a parent wants to spend money on their children then who has the right to stop them?
Greg how am I taking advantage of fellow racers? Do you think I put these motors in the books? Do I make the rules? I’am just playing within the rules NHRA has in place.
