The Duntov Letter

[6 Shooter]

It seems impossible to imagine a hot rod world without Chevrolet or its small-block engine—but there was a time that neither played a part in our arena. In the 1950s Fords dominated hot rodding, and the Blue Oval’s flathead was the V8 of choice for everyone looking for cheap speed.

I was wondering if Mr. Duntov actually spelled piston "pittson".

Glad to know he didn't.

He was hired as an assistant staff engineer which was quite a compliment by GM. Obviously he lived up to their expectations.
