    This is starting to get serious

    Received my engine package from Blueprint today (thanks Johnny).

    This is mostly Papa's fault.............just sayin.

    Dyno said 498.5 hp and 497 ft lbs of torque. Think I'll just say 500 or would that be wrong of me?

    Looks great.

    I hope it works out for you because I'm currently in the middle of retro-fitting a Holley Sniper EFI on my 302 and ordered a 347 long block from Johnny (BluePrint) last week.

    With the weight of these cars, one good pull down the straight and people will think you're sandbagging if you say it's "only 500" :-)
