New to the site as a member, but been a lurker on here for awhile. just wanted to throw my $0.02 into the mix, how about a 98"wb!
I personally watched another 98" wb sbc injected Lyndwood (like mine pictured) rip off straight pass's in the 8.90's till the track said "no more" due to the style & age of the chassis. his set up was a 355 injected ,PG. He also added wheelie bars as these tend to stand up, but it hooked & went, later on he couldn't stop on a pass & hit a brick wall at 40-50 mph.
Back in the day my dragster ran A/D till about 1964 and ran consistently in the high 8's with the technology of the time.
