Awe inspiring. I skimmed, will follow up on the videos and look closer at your parts list. Im thoroughly impressed.i picked up a 65 barracuda,have a 318 to go in and now have a pattern i can follow to make it chooch. I have no intention to 1/4 mile it, but i would like it to snort.
So my hat is off to you,sir and all your worthy supporters. An awesome read.

Thanks again.

Cam 4bbl and exhaust can get you pretty far add porting some gears shift kit and stall you have a decent street machine.

The way I look at it what hidden potential is in your heads (hp per cfm) which for a low cr street cammed engine is around 1.6-1.7 hp per cfm. Which limited by cam choice which is limited by stock cr which ain't a bad thing since you don't want to over cam a street car anyways.
