I went to Iowa State with one of those Diekema's I believe. John Diekema, IIRC. He was a Manufacturing Engineer. Was working on project for his/thier car. His brother or a relative ran a 396 Super Stock Chevelle?

In the late 60's there were a lot of 343 wagons in stock eliminator. "Old age and treachery trumps youth and enthusiasm, every time!"

Jerry was not there but we wish he would have been, I would like to see that car in person. John Diekema is an ISU grad and has helped his brother TJ and I alot with the car. He has a stocker Nova and his wife has SS Chevelle.

I'm pretty sure the 343HP 383 had inline carbs. He swears it was a crossram. I've never heard of such a combo. I would think if NHRA let it run, then Chrysler must have made them. I think his memory must have faded myself, but I wouldn't call him a liar. Maybe the onset of old timer's disease? Floyd Lippencott IV

Wonder where my white/blue 67 Chevy 100 post "little old lady from Santa Monica" car is. John might remember that from ISU. Sold to a Dennis Slaymaker in Spencer Iowa in 1997.

Its owned by Red Goldstein a local Mopar legend from Long Island N.Y.

An RB 383 is a '59-only Chrysler engine, I think, but would certainly not be legal in Stock for a '62 or '63 B-body.
