What you don't see in the photo of the Jag is the full cage, narrowed 9" Ford, and wall-to-wall slicks. That's an 871 blower sticking out the hood. Under it is a 504 Chevy big-block.
The '64 'Vette uses the "low buck" approach. It's equipped with a 454 running a tunnel ram. Power is routed through a two-speed powerglide. Amazingly, It’s running the OEM four-wheel drum brakes. ('64 was the last year for drums.)
Here's my brand new '94 T/A at the track. 275 hp LT1 running through a ZF six-speed. It was quick for a new car, yet a bit of a slug in comparison to my friend's cars. Then again, I had A/C, and little to maintain between rounds.
