Found the article:
It's in the March/April 1999 issue (Vol 19 Issue 2) with Bill Carrlson's GMC/Arias dragster on the cover. The short (1 page) article is by Stuart Nichols #261 and can be found on page 12.
While the article isn't very long, it sure caught my attention to remember it a decade later. There is a small box with some useful specs (bore, stroke, rod length, etc.) that should be of interest.
