CHESTNUTXE 7,318 Posted March 21, 2016 Today with not much to do i got on you tube and watched many old daytona races ,and by 1987 the cleveland had set the record for the fastest mph ever at 210 plus with billy elliott behind the wheel of the thunderbird,(good ol aussie pillow-blocks)plus reading old u.s. grand national racers tips on building a cleveland,this is where the 4v heads really came into their design to run at big rpm . 4 mrxd81, the ford fan, gerg and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,318 Posted March 21, 2016 hmmmmm just get on you tube and type 1970 daytona ,thats where i started and they all come up,MAN ford was fully sic back in the late sixties with the mercury cyclone out gunning the huge winged road runner and plymouths,then the boss 429 was kicking ass,then the rules changed,and then come the clevo,its really interesting that chev were no where in the early days,and oldsmobile were doing ok,but it was dodge and ford that had the big guns.

CHESTNUTXE 7,318 Posted May 6, 2016 Update ,it was in 1987 that bill elliott held the record for the fastest average speed for a nascar,212mph and had 4v cleveland heads.At some stages of talledega those unresticted engines could have hit 230 mph ! 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
