Mike Thorpe saw this thread last night and messaged me regarding this car since he could not add to this thread.
He said Foster Phillips and Larry Chabra raced it new while sponsored by Jack Carter Chev back in the day. It was later sold to Ron Millican in SW Calgary and used to be parked on 45th Street near 17th Avenue. Factory 4:88 radio delete and got a 350 LT1 short block installed after spinning a rod bearing in the 302. Brad Lake ended up with the original and Mike Thorpe later rebuilt the 302 for Brad. It then went into a beater 68 of Brads and was later cloned into a Z.
Mike is now checking to see where the car with the 302 went. FWIW
