That "Brutus" appears to be after the change from M/T hemi Pontiac to Chrysler hemi. They ran the Pontiac less than two months- couldn't make the valvetrain live.

Racers did what they had to do back then to stay competitive. Besides the Pontiac racers, there were other guys racing other brands of cars who eventually did the same thing and switched over to Chrysler Hemis under the hood.
