Tru,

To bad the boys lost, but rifle parts. Isn't that a little extreme for losing a game?

Kristen,

There were two 351 engines and two Boss engines. The 351 Cleveland has two easy ways to spot it. One it is wider and two the valve covers have 8 bolts instead of two. And there wrere three Boss Mustangs. Le mans rods are what my big block 69 Tornino has in them along with the rest of the low end stuff for that race. And the Y Block came after the X block. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Y block is associated with the 1956/1957 T-birds but they used them in the regular cars.
S/C cars acame about because there wasn't a lot of demand for the Comp 427s and they had to sell them some way. So add street legal tires, exhausts, etc and you have a Semi/Comp car. Only 60 actual completely comp. 427s were built. They have single four barells. Also 40 gallon fuel tanks for the two trips around the track.

Edley,

Now what was the mouse motor? And what did it grow into?

Ron

Ron: Mouse motor was Chevy's first modern OHV V-8 in 1955 model year. Started out as a 265, then 283, 327, 307,302, 350.

And dont the Windsors have SIX valve cover bolts? (Not TWO!)

No answers on the 221 V8? It WASNT a Y block! (239, 272, 292, and 312!)

And wasnt the Boss 351 a Cleveland with a mechanical cam as the main difference, with valve train pieces to complete the transition?
