I figure between 9.5 and 10 to 1 comp?? should be at least 350 hp with comparable torque?? I don't know...
The engine is assembled, installed and after addressing the extended accessory mount bolt hole boss issues in the heads for alternator mounts it should be ready to fire this monday...tomorrow Yippee... What kind of numbers do you guys think this combo should put up for hp/torque and 1/4 mile times in a 68 Barracuda 904 with an 8.75 and 3.23 suregrip on BFG 255/60/15's?
I cant wait to see this baby run....
