I just went aand looked at a 292 drag motor that was built in the early to mid 1970s. The gentleman that has the motor is a little hard of hearing and our communication was not great, so I may not have the names quite right. I was hoping someone may have some background on some the motor's history.
From what I gathered, the flat tappet camshaft was done by a company named Owens-Orbit(?)and I have not found anyone familiar with this company and the motor was built by a Gene Olly(?). If any of this sounds familar or anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Theoretically, the motor was in a 56 Corvette that ran 11.60s at over 122mph at Irwindale in ~ 1973.
Thanks for any help.
