We ran the number 70
Yes it was a 302 cut in half with Brodex -11 heads bought as casting defects and cut in half
The crankshaft was purpose built with both rod journals being on the same plane, much like a Harley Davidson motorcycle engine
It had an unique sound that can be best described as obnoxious
The thing had incredible torque
I know this sounds crazy but I really don't remember how many times we ran that engine configuration
I think I drove it once or twice, Scott switched back & forth whenever he could get into someone else's car
It was a little different time, we could take a car, run it, make enough to basically pay for our trip
It's not possible today, but it's still the best week in racing for old midget nuts like me
Thanks for your interest
