BIG power, LOW weight?

With a 302 / 331ci, 10.5:1 cr, solid roller in the .650" 242/248, 750 cfm, the flywheel will see somewhere in the 580 hp @ 7200 rpm and 460 tq @ 5000 rpm. Not a combination I would recommend unless you plan on tracking the car as much as street driving. However, it would be streetable to some degree.

There are easier ways to make the same power with a bit more low & mid range for a lot less money. For example, an aluminum 351 / 408, 10.5:1 cr, AFR heads, good hydraulic roller, and a 750 HP will easily make these numbers for thousands less. It would be more streetable as well.

Exotic is cool but does get expensive.

Good luck, John
