had a "xp-c96" i beleive it was on my old 62 chevy II with a 427 alm block back when..was built by the local D AND J Automotive race shop for the old GRANNY GOOSE VETTE....Dick W and Dick T had a falling out and it ended up in Dickies T's 62 chevyII..ran it at Edgewater for several years and got divorced...sold it to a guy, he pulled out and roasted em off...car 360 after snaching the frontend about 3 feet up and the guy got it stopped and got out walked back and said he wanted his money back..Dickie .set it out under a trap in the horse paster for a year and a half... the cincy tornado of 74 bout flipped it..pasted within 100" of it..set and had rear pumpkin sold out, 4 speed ect..had converted it to some single 4bbl..but when i bought the car, for $375 (my tax return in 1978) the intake was still in the trunk....was marked as experimental as Dick Wienle told me when i was putting the car back together..Him and Smokey U where good friends, Smokey helped build the fender well headers for the vette..which ended up on the 62 chevy II...would be the chevie II to have today..straight axle frontend, un tubbed rear with narrowed olds rear, quarters cut high and welded flairs to keep those N -50-15 on Keystones legally tucked......ya rapped the throttle on this puppy and the intake would frost...make a pass at the track and it had a thick layer of ice on it...was running 780 dbl pumpers modified on it..extensive dyno time while being built at D&J Automotive...man they built some fast ones for a while
