Need some advice 318 POLY vs 318 LA

Doesn't surprise me.....
Both 313 & 318 Polys were in Chry cars sold here. They were all 2bbl, 9:1 CR. Mate had a 59 Belvedere 4 door hardtop, TF trans. Full chassis in those & TF was cast iron, you can imagine how heavy it was....
Engine had a lot of miles on it, absolutely stock/original, running on 7 1/2 cyls because one plug would oil up. His mate had a Ford Falcon, 302W bored out to 311. Ford must have been 400-600 lbs lighter. They had a drag race. At 80 mph, the Ford drive looked out his window, only to see a red front fender at his door....
