A couple of interesting notes from the LINK Hal posted above:

The "Motion Performance" independant drag Cobra (1964, 289) ran coil springs in place of the rear leaf springs. Would like some pics of THAT setup! Shifting at 8000 rpm it would cross the 1/4 mile finish line at 8700 rpm! WOW!!! Sure makes you wonder what kind of cam\valve springs those boys ran.
