@Polybun There were plenty of nitro chevys after 1960. Jungle started his own cars in 1968. He ran chevy power for years. Bruce Larson ran plenty of Chevy motors. Numerous top fuel cars too.
-
everybody shut up and just try and enjoy the video,I love anything running on nitro! This is a recreation built so they can run the thing on the track,otherwise it's just another cacklefest museum piece.
-
Nope, by 1960, if it had nitro, it had a hemi. There just isn't anything else that will take the abuse. You figure the typical big block chevy weighed around 520lbs, well the hemi weighed 750lbs, DRY. They had enough material in the main saddles and cam shaft webbing they didn't split down the middle like everything else does when you put nitro to it.
-
Jungle Jim would be proud! I first saw him run at Oxford Plains, Maine in 76. I'll never forget that!
-
I know what you mean. I had a Hemi in my 74 Vette! Most people didnt believe it when they saw the HEMI ensignia that I put on the hood scoop.The torque was so insane that I had to modify the rear just to keep in the car.Those were the days!
-
At one time, can't recall (maybe early 70's), there was company making hemi heads for big block Chev motors for Fuel Class use.
-
There were a few fuel cars that ran Ford / Chevy motors over the years, without much success. Recall Jim Bucher of Ohio running Chev motor in TF back in early 70's. I believe in 60's, Mickey Thompson ran the old Ford 427 OHC in early F/C.
-
Huh?
-
Uh, back then, didn't the motor make usually match that of the body.... Mickey Thompson ran a Ford motor...Connie Kalitta...Gas Rhonda...

It should really be called a recreation with some moderen technology.
