Not Ranked
I know it seems all fun & games to think "BIG" hp when building a motor for these cars but Streetable & Big HP in these cars may be 2 different things all together. I may be running in the mid 300 range now with the WEBERS & it is a scary little car. I just purchased a second 64' 289 in which to rebuild as my backup motor. Knowing what i know now, running 3.54 rear gears I may shoot for the 370hp range but not much more. Don't think it's worth spending the money on something I can already scare the crap outta myself with. Rolling at about 1/4 throttle in second gear I can punch it & the tires get loose. That seems plenty enough for the street!
