Default Re: GM Carlisle

I had great time seeing the "SuperCar Reunion guys" and all the cars. Was there when Bruce Larson was talking about Marks ZL1. Bruce said they took Marks ZL1 to the track to try to help sell it because the ZL1's were not flying out of the show rooms. Bruce was also talking about running the L88 motors in the early Funny cars. Said he liked iron blocks and heads but used some alu heads. The Fuel cars were braking iron blocks so he was afraid to use the alu block. He also said Chevy engineering told him the BB Chevy 3/8 rods are just as strong as the 7/16 rods and they only made the 7/16 rods because the racers thought they needed them.
Thanks again Brian H.!
