Default Re: Racecars shipped to Sweden back in the day.

What is cool about many of those cars was that they had Chevy Power. We had many blown Rats here in Sweden, the Nitro Hemis were outnumbered. A few years later you had to have a Hemi to be competitive.

The Manta was the first Rodeck powered car outside of the US if I remember right.

I helped one of the TopFuelers to get a new Chevy 454 block when I was travelling to California for the 1980 Winternationals. Back then I knew Larry O'Freia at Valley Head Service and he got the new block for me.
