Wow, if that 2200lb is right U will have all the power it can handle, tho from what I read the 31 Olds curb was 3000lb+/- so U musta taken some weight out!

Torq 253 at 3500
Powr 217 at 5000
That is about what the guys above already guessed, no big news there. I got 9.3cr but U should measure it.
Quarter Mile the Gonkulator predicts
2.09 60ft
9.07 at 76.5
14.30 at 92.4 (pushing some wind up there)
5.9 0-60mph
I bet that's quicker than your average 31 Olds.
That is good information to have indeed as a benchmark.
Yah weight is low I have dropped a lot of wood framing from the interior and replaced with square tubing, the net is probably even there. The 192? that was in it weighed a lot, the 250 is lighter, the fenders are gone, the suspension that is in it now is way lighter. I am still on budget for 2200# weight I actually checked the corners on the weekend, not a perfect way to do it but Rolling chasis, engine and tranny in is 1500#. Body reinforced is about 300#, a bit of interior, seats and gas tank is all that has to go in + me. I did some work there too, lost a bunch of weight this last year so shaved more horsepower requirements!
