The reason for a 410cid was thew availability of Iron 410 sprint car engines (after everyone went to aluminum) One could get injector to pan 410 for around $3500
Now when GG's/VRA got involved in vintage style racing(mostly NorCal) their RB was a little different.

How about this little gem from the 1994 ANRA Rulebook
"Intended for grassroots heads-up racing in slingshot dragsters. Not intended as a "test bed" for crossover technology from other forms of racing. Restrictions in place to keep cost in line and still offer highly competitive heads-up racing"

Roger:
Is that the same set of heads that someone said a dozen years ago that Bob has “hogged out as a life passion"? Give him credit, he can make some serious horsepower with those "C" heads.
tire wiper:
Yes they are the same heads.
