Terry, there was a one second handicap. That would compensate the weight difference. THis wasn't just one time. It was time after time after time. Enough to give you a pretty indication of power.
And, if you remember, the 427 was a non-factor in NASCAR during the era. Same with A production. Pretty convincing for me. Most of the period literature will tell the Ford 427 and Hemi were the front-runners.
But hey, I'm a Ford guy; so what do you expect.
