Those specs must be for my old 292. haha My new on makes more power than that.
TJ,
Yikes, my 296 Nova might be at risk then, I only Gonkulate to 178hp but almost 900lb less weight. Sometimes the stock Powerglide will "chirp" the 1-2 shift (or should I say, "the shift") on its way to a low-9s run. Well, 0-60mph in the low-9s.
What are the specs on your new build?
Get that baby to Woodburn and let her rip!
Take it to All-Ford day at Woodburn in August. Great car show, you can look at old Ford restored Retractables while you listen to a T-bolt rip down the track 100 feet away. Car show is right behind the stands. They let any car at the show run down the strip for fun, also anything Ford-Bodied or Ford-Powered. If you paint over that "Chevrolet" on your valve cover, you might sneak that Ford-Blue engine past them as a 300 Ford Truck motor. LOL, well maybe not.
In any case whats your new build, cam? Compression? Head?
