School me on Stock Eliminator?

Dago Red,

Thanks for your input!

The 1966 Chevy II came with a 350 HP 327, but, from all I can find out, in '67 they failed to build ANY Chevy II's with that motor, though they did put it into the Chevelle.

It's in the NHRA Stock Car Classification guide for 1966 (de-factored down to 293 hp), but the only version of that motor in the Class Guide for 1967 is listed in the Chevelle section. No Novas above 275hp for '67.

Below are the links to those two pages.

The D Dart is listed in the Class Guide as legal for Super Stock, but not Stock.

I was told by an NHRA tech that the number-built qualification to get into both of those Eliminatotrs was the same.

When I asked about how this discrepancy came about I got a resounding "WE DON'T KNOW."

I believe that a couple of letters to the right people might get the D Dart re-instated into the Stock Car Classification Guide, but I certainly am not sure.

There are a couple of "NASCAR Hemis" (single 4bbl) cars running. David Barton has one on the East Coast, and then there's the one you saw at Vegas. Joe Teuton (New Orleans) WAS building one, but when NHRA started piling horsepower on it BEFOE IT EVER HIT THE STRIP, he shelved the project. Dunno where he's at with it, now.

Neither of the two that are running appears to be as fast as Ronnie West's former Fred Henson '70 GTX A/SA Street Hemi, but then, that's a $60K motor... courtesy of Don Little.

Angela Bushmaker (Seattle area) just ran 12.006 at Pomona on Friday with a 235hp 273 Commando '65 Valiant two door sedan in K/SA. That's a Larry Hollums engine in that car. He has a long history of making L-A motors fly...

There's just no telling what he could do with a 275hp D Dart motor... It would be BAAAAAAD!!! LOL!
