To be able to find the original car as it was raced in the 60's is amazing. I'm still looking for pictures of my my stocker from then, let alone the real car. Amazing deal.

LB, the '57 Chevy 283 cubic inch, 220 horsepower "Power Pack" combination, as delivered, has always been accepted with either a Carter WCFB or a Rochester 4GC at the same horsepower.
