Yes but the rule was to use factory parts.

Sorry I couldn't resist this old thread. I found a picture of my bro's 1950 Phaeton while I am searching for a picture of my 240Z. His engine is my fantasy small block Chevy. 365hp 327 Corvette engine rebuilt .40 over, TRW 11.5 to 1 pistons, TRW anti pump up lifters. Mallory dual point ignition, rebuilt holley 650. The heads were ported and polished, glass beaded the intake and de-burred the block. The jeep had a super T10 4 speed and a pontiac firebird rear end.

Were TRW parts and Mallory parts available from Ford, Dodge or GM? I'm sure the Holley would fly.

No, those are aftermarket parts.

I think the Boss 302 may have had TRW pistons, but I may be mistaken. Glenn?

I remember we bought the Mallory distributor at Comier Chevorlet from the Chevy High Performance catalog. I don't recall where we got the pistons and lifters.

During the sixties and up TRW supplied most of the forged pistons for ALL the American manufactures.

Now, who knows--

I would say that build was legit, sans the dist. Sounds like an aftermarket purchase through the dealer.
