      I always wondered what he would’ve actually ran in that car, because the mk 4 big blocks hadn’t come out yet. I’d guess either a 348 or 409. That car sounds so good.

      @@paulciprus9582 you've made a lot of assumptions , now here's the facts of the matter . Front suspension on the '55 consists of coil over shocks and a four bar to locate the axle . That heavy big block has aluminum heads on it to drop weight . Not only was the car gutted , it also was fitted with a fiberglass frontend and doors , plus plexiglass windows bringing it's weight down to around 2850 lbs . Milner's car weighs in around 2200-2250 lbs . Early Ford suspension sucks big time when it comes to racing , watch closely, there's little to no weight transfer when he launches . Milner even admitted to Toad that he was getting beaten .

      @@paulciprus9582 Thank you for the history lesson that I of all people don't require . However you're a bit mistaken on your time line . There were Corvettes with aluminum heads before '62 . Fiberglass body parts were very much available for '55-'57 Chevies in the early sixties , as evidenced by the replacement fenders on my next door neighbor's '57 Belair. The die cast model of the '55 was made with a dual quad 409 under a flip front end . I'm surprised that you haven't tried to claim BS about the coilovers . But maybe you already knew about " Ohio " George Montgomery showing up at the 1960 U.S. Nationals with AC Delco coilovers under the front of his Willys gasser .
