I think Jamo's onto something with the weight thing. They were BIG cars, but I'd like to see numbers on the weight. It might be quite surprising. 3300-3400 maybe? Paper thin head gasket was a common "race trick" in those days.

Who was it that did those Chevy super tune ups? Yenko or something like that? Thin head gasket. indexed plugs, recurved dist. rejet carb,,,just bunch of "little things", but impressive gain in h.p.
