Actually it's a 400 that I built up as if I were building a 351c, took it up the street and back and it gets going pretty well just barely off idle despite the low rise single plane. Smile

Pegleg 3.00 gears Smile Kinda disappointing when you stomp the gas and the car doesn't really move then you look at the speedometer and realize that 6" tires just don't hold up to 400+ ftlbs of torque, lol.
