Longbox, you know your stuff! Do you remember "Old Reliable" driven by Dave Strickler? I believe it was a 63 Chevy Belair that had the full drag race options. It was billed as a "409", but I seem to remember it was discovered to be a 427 at one of the tech inspections after winning its class. Dang! I'm not supposed to remember stuff from 40-something years ago!
