Of course it was 1959, but still cool
Came across this old drag racing video made by the NHRA to educate people about racing.
It has a lot of really neat cars in it along with well known cars like the Ram Chargers and Art Arfons Green Monster. When it came to the end, the meet top class winner rolled up....and immediately I recognized the unmistakable exhaust ports of an FE. With the cool 'way back' front mounted supercharger design, I got a big kick out of it. Thought you guys might enjoy a peek at it.
Skip to 26:00 to catch the car and engine. It's cool that they gave a decent shot of the engine.
