    Sounds like both motors are pretty fresh and warmed up. I agree that it will probably be close, but I gotta go with the V8.

    I guess both cars have something like a 3:78 rear. If one had a 4:11 and overdrive they'd have a nice edge. The 6 might have the 4:11 as is?

    I tell you what, I raced Cannibal with my '54 Chevy. His tri-powered flathead beat my 235, dual carb and Fenton equipped Chevy. Mind you I did have an enormous, 300 lb guy in the car with me, I was at a disadvantage.

    Hey guys, anyway we could make this a three way drag race? I would enter the other kind--a flathead 6. I'm gonna bet on mine too. 2 single intake, custom made headers, full race cam, finned aluminum head, dual point, Mag-spark coil, and a 10 inch truck clutch in a 3000lb 55 Belvedere.


    Only...

    It's in Massachusetts...
