Who knows what powerplants these 2 NSS cars have?

SUPERSTOCKRACER · Dec 20, 2014

1. Asphalt Elephant- John Griswald
2. Keepin' the Faith- Paul Habura

What size motors and what carbs are they running. These are some of the fastest in the country and very impressive.
I'm curious to know how these cars run so good.

605 inches with two Edelbrock 800 for the Asphalt Elephant according to http://nostalgiasuperstock.com/asphaltelephant/

Keepin' the Faith apparently has a 572 http://www.moparmax.com/news/2008/news-iii_8-7.html

cool videos

SUPERSTOCKRACER · Dec 20, 2014

I wonder how much those 2 cars weigh?

Photon440 · Dec 20, 2014

Keepin' the Faith is a factory aluminum nosed car, always raced and never been on the street. What did those weigh?

I'm not sure about any of the answers but I'll watch those videos all day!

At what point do you install clear plexiglass in the floor boards?

That's a good idea. might consider that.

More power and less weight than me for sure. There are about 6-8 N/SS style cars in the Illinois/Wisconsin area that can run 8.50-8.70. I ran with the Elephant when it only ran 10.50s when Tom Ponder owned it in the 90's. The car itself looks like it hasn't changed much, same body and paint. I would venture to guess it weighs 3300 give or take. I believe Paul's car is a real lightweight owned by Len Grinwald. We've got a 8.50 Tempest out of Detroit that is legal except the carb, under 500" motor. check here.

Yes! That's it exactly! Seems a lot calmer in the car than out of it. It must be one hell of a thrill ride!! Good luck to you and all the fast racers next year!
Happy Holidays!

The Elephant car has changed quite a bit since the former owner had it. Grinwald and myself spoke for about 2 hours on the phone one day exchanging info on lightning tips for that car. That is a super trick combo and I am proud to be the supplier of the super light fiberglass front fenders.
