Wayne ,The car was built as a NOS car, it has run alot faster. When the track said don't come back unless you have a chute. We stopped running it, because we didn't want to cut it up. We have since converted the car to run in the FAST/SUPERCARS series where you have to run exhaust manifolds, full 2.5" exhaust etc... and repro bias ply tires. G70 14s to be exact. We have got a 1.61 60ft time so far in testing. Check out Ryans ZL1 build for the same class.

No we dont have no 60 foot clocks yet ,we just became a non profit organization,so we are all working on getting a tree,should have it by next summer,the old air port runway is asphalt my chevelle launches pretty good for a 4 speed car but i raced 4 sp all my life growing up,i just love that challenge of getting the car to hook up ,i tell people to take off like your going grocery shopping ,then let it have it,you can see the races on you tube, ive got the 70 chevelle its under (ketchikan kruzers) thats are car club name,Its just good ol fun,im thinking my chevelle was running in the 13s again just guessing,it was just heads up racing this year and now im hooked line and sinker,to going faster, back to this build, i can first tell you im so glad i didnt start ordering parts and not posting this first thanks again,now ive got a bunch of options,if my car could go close to andrews i would be more then happy,ive got about 10g in my budget,hope thats enough,originally i had planned to put one of those rotating assembly 427 or 454 kits in my block,and try and build it durable,but now i kinda liken the idea of a stroker!,more then anything though im going to race a 4sd,and ive got two m22s in stock,i should give you guys the vins off the trans to make sure there not to rare,so if im dead set on racing a 4speed,should i stay with the lower torque motor and building a horsepower engine,is that what breaks the 4speeds the torque?well thanks again all..kris

Anyone know this car? Looks like a Z28, 4-speed 302? 10.61, can that be? Wenzel, Duzac, McNesh? Just posted and all over the net. Maple Grove maybe?

That is Jerry MacNeish at the Dutch Classics at Maple Grove, on the brakes. Running in D/Stick. A very fast REAL 1967 Z/28.

I suspect that this car will run in the 10.40's in good air? That car runs better than most big block cars. Incredible! Stock eliminator car, right? I've had both over the years, 302's and 427's. My boys love the Z28's.

Have seen Duzacs car and Wenzels car run at Indy, they don't leave the starting line like that. Does he have a web site?

Thanks,

Talked with him this morning. We are going to send my son's 302 to him for rebuild. He sent me some dyno sheets for review and rebuilds all of his engines on the stock eliminator foundation. Little tricks for performance. Does a lot of engines. Can make over 400 hp if I want, and very streetable. I will contact some of the his customers before I do just to make sure. Very impressed with what they do. The '67 Z28 is tagged and he does drive it to local cruise nights. Said he will try for the record in April.

Thanks,

Bob

If the air is good in April he will be on or under the record. Atco, Cecil County and Maple Grove are real fast when the air is good. Stay tuned!! And yes CHP does know the little tricks it takes to make the 302 fly!

Talked to two customers, one has a '68 L78. Engine made 458 HP on Burtonsville Machine dyno? I don't know them, that's where he dynos. Guy is tickled, stock everyting with .040" head gaskets, 143 cam, etc. That's big power for one of those engines in stock form. Runs on pump gas too. I was worried about that issue. Another guy, police officer, '69 Z28, car runs in the low 13's in the heat with street tires, granny shifting and closed exhaust. This 302 made 420 HP.

We are crating up our 302 this weekend.

Thanks again,

Bob
