CHEVY GUYS GET CAUGHT CHEATING AT INDY

Yeah, I thought that the hemi's were destroked, but didn't want to put something on here that I wasn't sure of. Same with the Fords, I thought they were running Cleveland's. I don't think I knew the Chevy's were running 331's, which I'm guessing were 350's that were destroked.
Basically the 350, 327, (331 is an overbored 327) and 302Chevy, were all the same 4" bore block. Size was determined by factory crankshaft stroke, 3, 3.25, or 3.48. If I remember right, the Hemis were destroked with a custom crank that was probably available from Direct Connection (so it would be nhra legal) to 366 0r 398 inches. The E-bodies were difficult to get down to weight, so they started running Colts. Evil little things with that much power.
Gapp&Roush (yep, that Jack Roush from nascar) ran a four door Maverick and Nicholson ran a 69 mustang, rather than the Pintos that everyone else in the Ford camp was running, for the same reason, a longer wheelbase (two door mav wasn't long enough) got a weight break. A quarter pound per inch if I remember right.
