Bob, with regard to your questions about why a 140 and not a turbo, 110,
etc.

I cannot speak for Seth, but I have an idea why this might be of value.
Most of the racers and performance enthusiasts that will be at the CPW,
begin with a 140. To be sure they are highly modified and some have the big
bore setup and much more.  I think the purpose of the bone stock 140 is to
give the racers a baseline for comparison.  And since this is a drive on
dyno, the numbers Chevrolet produced back in the sixties are largely
meaningless.  The fact of the matter is it would probably be nice to have a
couple of stock 140's so as to get an average and then go from there with
the big boys. 

Just my 82 cents (adjusted for inflation)
