If it's not interchangable but "looks" the same, Doesn't a 460 look like a 428?
Now Chevy made a Big Block 409 In 1964 and Came out with a New Big Block in 65 in which no parts would interchange with the old big block. Sounds about the same but just looks different.
Again MY Opinions dont mean chit, I am just going off of what I read. |

You could get a 67 Coronet with a 383 -- low deck.
The 59 383 was the only year the 383 was a RB -- it became a low deck in 1960.
A 400 and a 383 are virtually the same engine. Displacement was increased because of the motor becoming a smog motor with cheaper internal parts. It is near impossible to tell a 383 from a 400 without looking at the numbers.
If Pontiac was putting 421CI non-rope-drive 61 Tempests in the hands of the public or the Racers -- than I apologize. My memory was 63 was the first year the Tempest was in Super Stock (Arnie the Farmer Bestwick), and that they didn't put the 326Ci into the Tempest until 1962. However, I'll defer to the Pontiac experts.
NMCA announced the Chevy Rat motor was an error, whacked my post giving my opinion, and then posted that I should call with these problems instead of airing them out in public.

Kahuna,
If you have a beef. You know who to call and how to use a phone. Airing it out here does nothing but agitate the people you are trying to influence.

I'm not sure that I want to run NMCA anymore. I need to look into my options and do some soul searching. I love racing NSS -- but I don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling with NMCA anymore. I hate every one trying to shut me up, and one-sided conversations.
