Heads up gets out of control quick. </div></div>

And raise you with a Can Am version 480+CI of BBC ZL-! in that same little Vega. Now with only what was available say upto 1971, the BBc would win simply because there wasn't much aftermarket for the big old BOSS! </div></div>

I dunno about all that, brother. Aftermarket, maybe not, but there was plenty of NASCAR take-off and MuscleParts stuff floating around back then. Most of it just wasn't legal in class or viable on a street car. Boss '9 Mustangs may have gotten a reputation (undeserved, IMO) as slugs in stock form, but no circa-1970 BBC head is gonna move air like a Shotgun. Now give those heads 500 cubes in an 1800 pound chassis with wall-to-wall tire, and all the cam, compression and carb I care to throw at it? That ZL-1's gonna have a tough row to hoe.

Now we just need the Krysler Krew to show up with a 500 cube Hemi Colt and we got a race!
