yes, and if this nostalgia class becomes a reality, i'll make sure our 68 firebird has enough electronics on it so that it doesnt qualify in the nostalgia/ wheelchair class - i welcome racing anyone

You can't push a brick faster than a bullet no matter how much power you put in it, talk to me in a couple three years, maybe you will understand. I'd personally like to see your 68 Firebird keep run

To a realy great extent I agree with you, but I think electronics do provide more horsepower. I don't think a vintage only technology, say a '69 302 Chev Z-28, solid lifters with 2 fours can compete

Yeah, at the price of high flow injectors, it was probably cheaper to get two junked systems. But there were prolly some real engineering thoughts that had to transpire before it worked well. Such as

Yep, you are right. But a thought, what class would that super modified flathead with all the trick blowers, swapped intake/exhaust system, fuel injected sucker run in? If that motor was put in a roa

I raced hydroplanes in the 60's that were Crosley powered. Most of the time we could keep them together at 8600-9000 some guys claimed 10,000 but, they didn't live long at that rpm. We ran Isky cam,

Yes, when I worked in Omaha, I was told that the Crosley engines held just about all the boat records in their class. Crosleys engines were also used on the ThermoKing refrigeration unit for trucks.

One thing that I liked about working on the Crosley was that you could reach in, grab the engine, and lift it out and set it on the bench. I believe it weighed 120 pounds complete. Just a note. Ther

That's remarkable. As I recall the engines were 44ci stock and produced 28 hp at 3500 rpm's. I blew one up one time while running a measured kilo in a ditch outside Miami, Fl. The tach was a Jones M
