@dodgedart74 And note that during Nascar's early days, say until the late 80s or so, most teams borrowed High Perf engine knowledge from the professional drag racing teams.

@dodgedart74 To really have an answer for this, you must take a look at the long history of Nascar and GM. I mean, go way back to the late 50s. Nascar was dominated by Mopars and Fords for a very long time back then. GM then "whined". In time, to around the 70s, Nascar biased the rules towards GMs heavily. The template you see today is based off a Chevy Lumina. If foreign cars are allowed to compete, like Toyota, wait until Porsche or MB or BMW joins.

@SuperBallDeep Some clarifications: 1) Chrysler's 426 CI Hemi was NOT a DOHC, not a SOHC. It was a pushrod motor with canted valves. 2) The Charger 500 is what I believe you are referring to. It was an interim solution until the winged Charger Daytona was available. Then the Plymouth Superbird showed up. 3) It has been documented numerous times, although I regretfully can't provide a source as I write this, that 200mph was recorded right out of the showroom for these Mopars.

@SuperBallDeep ford never had a sohc 429

[1962Galaxie514ciMPFI]

@SuperBallDeep actually the winged cars were banned soon after dodge came out with the superbird and then after the 71 season both ford and gm were making prototypes for nascar for the next season. the nascar management did not like that. for what ever reason. if i recall my auto history it was both dodge and gm cryed fawl about ford engine's. btw gm has alway's tooken a backseat to dodge and ford. also ford was the only american company that had a near total domination for sanctioned racing

Thanks! The face and voice match now. Those were the days! Dad had a Sunoco, mom was driving me to preschool in an F6 with white wing and interior Daytona, and the race cars were real and cool.  One Christmas I got both Rock-em-Sockem's AND an SSP Superbird car.

@ramairfour  William Conrad was the guy narrating. If you’re old enough he was the actor to play Frank Cannon on an early 70's detective series on CBS.
