Thanks guys, I figured that knowing which class it would have run in would help me sift through pictures. According to the original owner's brother, most of the trophies he won were donated to the Belleville, MI Cub Scout Pinewood Derby after he passed away....

Jerry, can you send me Ben Wenzel's contact info? I would appreciate it.

Thanks again,
Tony

I can't remember seeing any 1970 LS-6 chevelles running in anything lately either.

I'm gonna guess the oval port 454 or 396 would be the *smarter* route to take in a '70 Chevelle...A with the LS6 or B with the L78 is still gonna be heavily Camaro/Nova, which have had their way with those classes the last several years...no way to legally "Deal-A-Meal" a Chevelle that light I'd say?

I think the 450 hp rating from Chevy also hurts a little. Some 1971 chevelles run well in SS/EA maybe because the right people are messing with those lower hp 454's. Like John Armstrong! I think the guys name is Bruce Riley that runs a real strong 454. Is that 425 horse in that year? Running out of the John Armstrong camp (Nova Scotia)!

J. Armstrong is the smartest big block engine builder in the country.....case closed! His stats speak for themselves. First Chevrolet Super Stocker in the eights. The other racers that use him in Stock and Super Stock out qualify just about everyone in their respective classes.
