70's era hotrodding...history lesson please

[Mack81]

I remember even when I was young my dad had a 68 torino gt with a big block/4spd. It looked all stock but I remember him out in the parking lot of our apartments swapping out the 9" chunk and dropping the pipes alot of Fridays after work. After I got older and got into cars I figured out why he did that lol.
I've read around alot about the era but when it comes to magazines I can't help but think the mags were probably like they are today where they feature only the baddest of the bad, you know... The exceptions that you would rarely see if ever running the streets.
