Some oldtime tracks called that the "sportsman" class. Others just called it "cheating"! I like to stuff an extra 30 cubic inches or so into an original-looking engine. How about a 300 cubic inch "261" stovebolt engine with altered ratio rocker arms and hydraulic roller valve lifters? With a little dedicated tinkering, it can be made to look like a 216 at first glance. Jerry
