Mopars running the wrong block? How so? What Mopar runs an engine not available? The Low Deck came out in 1960, the RB before that. The Hemi came out in 64. I know of no Mopar running the incorrect motor/head configuration for the year car they run.
The Rat motor didn't come out until 1965 1/2
I understand the Tempest deal now. There was a (very slow) 61 that was running all year, and someone only pointed out at the end of the year that it was a 61. I guess they changed the rules to allow it -- and frankly I can't tell the difference between a 61 and a 62. I thought it was 63 when the Tempest first started racing in NSS -- but if they all look alike, who cares?
It was a nice looking car -- but he was slow and had a hard time getting down the track. I hope he gets the car to be more dependable and a second or so faster -- as I always liked the 63 Tempests of Arnie the Farmer. |
