I have vague memories of that car and driver too. I think Strickler's name showed up a lot in Hot Rod magazine when I started reading it in the 60's.
I was trying to list the most common engines and skipped race only stuff like the Z11. Okay, actually I didn't even think of it...
My Suburban is a GMC and I've toyed with the idea of installing a Pontiac 455 and dressing it to look like the 347 installed in GMC trucks for a year or two.
My thought was that it would look like something GMC built back then, while providing all that horsepower and torque. Don't think I'll ever do it though.
