Re: 1970 deuce
[ QUOTE ]
So was the deuce running standard exhaust etc. or were they running open element & performance exhaust
Also were all the deuce motors close in build date or did they very dramatically???
[/ QUOTE ]
Deuces ran the Z dual snorkle air cleaner, and a stock exhaust system with the Z manifolds.
The build dates were usually very close.
My comment on the L79 Chevy11's comes from the urban legends back in the day, that those little box deuces that slid up beside you late at night, and blew your door off were somehow ordered, or transplanted with corvette motors. Remember, Bill Thomas started doing that with some of the 1st gen Chevy 11's.So there was a lot of rumor about factory, vrs transplant.
Don was a SCCA racer. Way more into Corvettes than Z's. Plus why buy a nova with a Z motor, when you could just by the Z. Cheaper. Marlin also has a theory that Don built the deuces with an eye on possible trans Am racing. Hence the suspension COPO. And if you take the stripes and flip them around, they look like Boss 302 stripes. Sorta.
