The 'Quickest' A-Body Small Blocks

I love the 340, have 4 of them. But let's get real none ran quicker than low 14's at best stock even with 3.91 gears. Here is the list I trust from cars off the lot, not NHRA published times or index BS .

MUSCLECAR REVIEW magazine published their first list of the 50 Fastest Musclecars in the November 1985 issue. Here's an explination of how they came up with the list. An exhausting search of 60's era automobile magazines was made. After collecting as many drag test results as they could find, the list was compiled. To prevent a small number of cars from dominating the list, similar engine/body combinations are grouped together with the best performance numbers used to represent that combination. [for example, 5 different 69-70 HEMI B-Body drag tests were found] The times shown are for cars in stock condition. Add in the cars that gt listed and Mopar is well represented in the top 20. It stands to reason though, Mopar was by far the most prolific manufacturer of factory race cars during the "Musclecar Era".

The '70 LS-6 Chevelle is right up there but certainly not the fastest.
