Ten Great Engines...

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hot Rod Web site has this story: "The History of Hot Rodding Has Seen 
Thousands of Great Engines. Here Are 10 of the Most Memorable."

Of interest here is Petty's 1964:

"Just so you know, maybe this is not the complete story of the debut of 
the Chrysler 426 Race Hemi at the '64 Daytona 500. Perhaps the focus has 
been held tight, avoiding certain aspects in order to protect the 
guilty, some of whom are still around. You know how it is: Nobody can 
prove anything. Suffice it to say that NASCAR got bushwhacked and 
blindsided and the Fords were blown into the weeds, as Paul Goldsmith 
qualified his Ray Nichels Plymouth on the pole at 174.91 mph. That was, 
oh, 14 mph faster than the previous year's pole speed. And on race day 
the Dodges and Plymouths swept the first three places, with Richard 
Petty leading 184 of 200 laps to win his first Daytona 500."
