Heck we still polish lines and exhaust systems and clean carbs for AACA national events. My area was a bunch of street racing in 61-66 as our local track didn’t open until late 63. There were no 61 409’s in our area but one of the best was a 61 350 with gears and bucrons and was the best for couple years The engine still exists but the original car is long gone.
I always heard that a geared 61 350 was a bad ride compared to 409’s with stock gearing in 61 and 62

I ran 4.56s most of the time but also had 4.88s and 5,13s my brother had a 62 siler corvette 360 hp FI we would swap back and forth, could change third member in 15 min. I sold the car after av drag racing ticket lost license 6 months without my parents finding out. So I ordered a 65 Impala SS black on black 396 425hp with 4.88 posi one of the first in cali 13 0s @ 108
