Default Re: 63 Mystery Motor...historical consideration

Probably a NASCAR Impala or Bel Air race car such as the one that Junior Johnson ran back in 1963. One of my old hot rodding books from the 70's shows this engine apart out of Junior Johnsons car that lapped Daytona at 166 MPH. I guess it was king until the 426 Hemi put a whipping on everbody in 1965.
