NASCAR Mopar

Repeating itself over and over. Both Wally Parks (NHRA) and Bill France (NASCAR) always had hard ons for Chevy so much that they did everything they could to make sure Chevy won up to and including sanctioning and or down right banning other makes when someone came up with something faster. Chrysler saw years of sanctions and Ford's SOHC 427 has been the only engine ever down right banned right from the rip with NASCAR. They knew Ford was fixin to dominate if they ever had the chance to get out there and work the bugs outta that nine foot long timing chain.

Yes the SOHC 427 was band from the get go............BUT......it was Chrysler screaming about how unfair it was.....GM was operating on a "No official " involvement in racing at the time
