"Just for clarification,

The Super Stock cars with automatic transmissions got the 8 3/4" rears. Four speed cars got the Dana 60.


Otherwise, I agree with just about everything that's been said on this thread. When I saw they were going to build a 440 6 pack I was stoked. When I saw the numbers it made I couldn't believe it."

That's what I said!

There is a 383 build rehash in the new Spring 09 Engine Masters magazine where a stock 383 long block gets a cam, headers, intake and carb and makes 450+ hp!!!
