Quote: Back in the late 60's my friend Ron Kukuruda had a 64 belevedere with a 318. We bought a bone stock max wedge engine that was in a mopar crate from a speed shop in columbus ohio. This was an all steel car, with a mostly stock push button 727 and a 3000 converter. I think the car had 9" M & H cheater slicks on it also. I was with Ron on many of nights on the street & this car never even came close to losing to any big block chevy. When we finally got the car to the strip & took the covers off the cast iron headers the thing went mid 11s. Most of the people who ran at keystone & Pittsburgh (PID) know of this car which was bone stock down to the factory head gaskets.
Randy,referr back to my early post about mopar racers around Pgh. on this thread.Our Mopar racers are like our Pgh Steelers and our Penguins.Our GM and Ford guys follow the Pgh Pirates.Ron and many others have made their mark.
