560Dennis Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Interesting ! I remember the first time I saw a hemi Dodge at presque isle dragway at in Erie,Pa, could feel that , it would pound your chest , thumper Wasn’t much of a spectator barrier as I remember , any way It was back in the day if you had 250 horses you were somebody . today your a wimpy at 750 , just change is for certain . as for me give me a stock 283 with street headers ,triumph!

hardtail Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 nothing wrong with a little 283, not quite elephant numbers but no slouch, Dodge was caught cheating putting fluid in the slicks for weigh in and then swapping them out for racing, there was a lot of creative practices back then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
