Ardun Doug,
liked your reply to the question of the first SBC not
being a hemi. Also enjoyed your informative Ardun article written for the 3
part series in New Zealand Hot Rod Magazine who I also write feature &
tech articles for. When I read the question of why the 55 Chev small block
wasn't a hemi, it reminded me of a dragster featured in Hot Rod Magazine
yearbook #4 from about 1964, page 138. Shows a 283 SB with what appears to
be Ardun heads fitted although not claimed to be by the article.
If anyone on the List would like to see one of the very interesting photos,
e-mail me at yesford@clear.net.nz and I'll return as an attachment.
