While we are handing out over due applause for killer Pontiac 350 motors let’s go back to 1974 and Burt Straus and his Sunbird that I saw run a 8.85 in the 1/4 mile early that Summer.
It was well worth my two flat tires that I had to deal with to get to Englishtown and see that take place!

Two dry rotted 14 x 10 Micky Thompson slicks.

Two pairs of brown leather flip flops, never seen more then 2 mph.

Steve,
I saw Burt at Englishtown also (not sure what year). While he had to run factor iron heads, most of the ports (intake and exhaust) were nowhere the factory location That is what could seen just looking at the engine. Have no idea what one might have seen looking at the head from the combustion chamber side.
