That is so bizarre that they didn't have faith in the survivability of ther highest performing engine at the time. Yeesh!

Yes. Entire engine was blueprinted and runs like a top. With 3:31 gears I think I ran 14's at the Supercar reunion on those skinny tires.

NHRA’s Wally Parks contacted Chevrolet after the race wanting pace cars for use.... Chevrolet said No.
