Here's some pictures from the NSRA Richmond Nationals a few weeks ago.

Those look like some nice cars. Thanks for posting.

I noticed the 52 (?) looks like it has a 67 starwars aircleaner. Do you know what power mills the others had?

That car had Buick 455 power,the others all had small block chevies(carbureted,fuel injected and one had an LS).I can't remember which ones had what,only the one with the big block Buick.

Don't know why people always drop those other engines in. Seems to be a lot of Buick power available. For me it's always dissapointing to see a nice Buick hot rod without a Buick engine.

It's getting harder to find real Buick engines around here. After four nailhead deals that have gone sour for one reason or another, I bought a 455/TH400 in a '79 LeSabre that the owner lost interest in. I'll just reframe my '55 body.
That way, a 4 link, disc brakes, and a whole bunch easier to get suspension and brake parts for. Not to mention the ability to use it to pull a travel trailer on vacations. Retirement is not that many years off.

I just could not bear to use a bowtie drivetrain in it.
