-> BTW, that little 232 CI hemi could just barely keep up with a 265
-> Chevy, but never pass
Those were good little engines too! They re-wrote the displacement
rules at our dirt track so those little Red Ram hemi's could run with
the 235 stovebolt six's one year and they cleaned their clocks! Next
year they made 'em run with the Chevys and Fords and they cleaned THEIR
clocks. NExt year they outlawed 'em! Tough little engine though, and
cam it so it could breath, and get OUT of the way!
They made 'em run two barrels with the six's but let 'em have WCFB's
when they ran in the 292 class. Boy, that woke 'em up! The 292 Fords
were allowed roller tappets too! Chev's and Red Rams had to stay stock.
Dirt tracks were sure fun in those days. Course the Sprints all ran
flatheads until the 240 OHV 7 main Ford 6 came out. Now THERE were some
screamers! THree dueces on a log, and 10" stub exhausts! Wake the
DEAD!
