Notes: AKA Team Keystone. We need confirmation of speed. Went confirmed 9.723/139.10 at NHRA Indianapolis 9/72. Other side of car said Miller & Hiner. | Bob Hiner and Jerry Miller had been running Chevys in Super Stock and Modified production classes. They watched Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins’ new small block Vega dump the Chryslers at Pomona and decided that he had the right idea and jumped on board, building this Vega. The small block Vega only had to carry six and three-quarter lbs. per cubic inch while the Chrysler Hemi had to run seven and one-quarter lbs. per cubic inch. Hiner and Miller felt that this was the way to go. Their Vega's engine was a stock bore and stroke 327 that used Duffy's 12.75:1 pistons. They chose Crane for the roller cam. The cylinder heads were also done by Crane, and the Manley valves measured 2.02" for the intake and 1.62” for the exhaust. A pair of 660 Holley carburetors sat on an Edelbrock manifold. Hooker Headers were used for exhaust. The transmission was a Borg-Warner four-speed with a Hurst shifter. A new subframe was built by Dick Lowry to support the added weight of the V8. The car took three months to build at a cost of $17,000. Best early runs were 9.89/139.96. |
