George, you have that backwards: the Ford teams were forced to run the Boss 429s ( which had many problems running nitro) instead of tried and true SOHC 427. “Ohio George” Montgomery was still running “SOCK” engines until 1971. Kalitta, Snake and the Hawaiian were running “SOCK” engines through the 1970 season.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
