That said I reaLLY hate the Chevy= Chrysler mentality. The fact that NHRA has banned the BBF from most every class I want to run confirms that mentality. Keep the Tin Indian please.

The Chevy=Chysler mentality thing isn't as much about being in love with one brand or another, it's about parts availability. Not everyone has the time, money, patience or ability to make every little thing on their car or engine. The RED bracket racers have been the driving force in BBC development for years now, and as a result there's plenty of new and used stuff out there for reasonable money to go fast with. Same with the Hemi stuff, except its been the big dogs of the sport spearheading that development either decades ago or right now. I always get a kick out of my nostalgia customers with blown injected combo's towing to the line running 7.50's while my RED guys drive their cars up and back while running 7 flat.
That being said, I do love different combinations. But racing is expensive enough without paying extra to go just as fast as the guy next door.

I would like to stay "different" not Chevy or Ford.
I built this dragster to look like it came right out of the late 60's and think the Hemi would look right.
Might just stay with the Pontiac as I do have extra parts.
Suggest good reference material reading to research Hemi's????????
