for any of you Houston or surrounding area guys...this is the 4th year I've been a part of the show. I have seen Many MANY great cars and some you'll NEVER see (pun intended cuz if you never see it well it wouldnt be there would it) LOL any way many cool cars that are rare "if" you saw one.
I962 Pontiac factory drag car....
The 421 engine used in the Swiss Cheese Catalina was treated to 13.0:1 Mickey Thompson pistons, a #10 McKellar camshaft, lightweight valves in reworked heads, heavy duty rotating assembly and a lightweight flywheel. Carburetion was by twin Carter AFBs atop a special aluminum manifold. Rated at 410 horsepower, the engine brought the car’s total weight to 3,308 pounds and propelled it to 12-second times at 120mph. The cars were originally equipped with the Borg Warner 3-speeds with aluminum tail sections and aluminum-case 4.30:1 Positraction differentials; most were converted to close ratio BW 4-speeds and either 4.56 or 4.88 rear gears.
