Re: Top 10 Sleepers
A friend put a ZZ4 350 engine (rated 355 hp)into a 65 two-door post Chevy II. The stock ZZ4 twisted the unibody up like a pretzel until we welded in some frame rails. I bet that kit 327 did the same thing! Now his car runs low 12's with headers, drag radials and a HOT cam kit..

Re: Top 10 Sleepers
I especially like the yellow '66 that Kyle and Stacy Tucker (Detroit Speed) built, it was at the '02 Bristol Bash, seems like it took runner up for best in show. Charley probably knows this car.

Re: Top 10 Sleepers
Like Keith posted about being deaf. You'd have to be blind to miss those flags on the front fender.

Re: Top 10 Sleepers
Everytime I see the fifty fastest or the list posted here I wonder why the 69 Nova was chosen over the 68 Chevy II nova. They both had the same drivetrain(as far as the 396/375 models anyway). why did they choose the second year for the list? Just curious.

Re: Top 10 Sleepers
The 50 fastest list from the September 2001 MCR has a 68 Nova at the top of the list. The numbers came from the pure stock drags. I think that earlier lists came from old magaine road tests, which were pretty inconsistent. For example, November 68 Pop Hotrodding had a 68 L-78 Nova run 14.26, while September 68 Car Craft had a similar car run 15.20. Later, Hot Rod ran a 13.87 with their 69 L-78 Nova. So if you made a list with that old road test data, the 69 looks faster, but there was probably no real difference.
