I just think of all the modern street rods that use covers to hide the engine.

Does not look like a mean nasty high horsepower engine.

Just my thoughts


That just means there is a market for someone to design and make stuff for them. Leo's engine made 1150 HP with a mild tune. I can venture to say a 292 will never make that much HP, and if it ever did, by then the 4200 would be making 1500+ or more. I've even seen one that is claimed to make 1800 HP with a blower.
