Back in the late 1960's a local drag racer around Nashville built up a fiberglass T Model roadster body into a D-altered class drag car, using a 292 engine with 3 Weber side draft carbs and a radical camshaft, and I think he bumped the compression up to match the cam. He was outrunning all the new muscle cars with ease. The guys with the GTO's and Olds 442's refused to run with him at all, and the Dodge hemis only beat him occasionally.
