    Car originally had a B2 in it. Guy in Alberta bought it for the engine. He pulled it & sold the car to another fellow, that put a 302w & T-5 in it.
    This next guy had a heart attack, so was selling the car. I had been searching for it as I missed the sale while it was in the States.
    Bought the car, knowing where a B2 was sitting.
    Only drove the car maybe 100 miles ? Before pulling all the 302w etc out.

    B2 Engine went to Mascar in CA. Bored .020 over & new 10.5:1s. New rods & crank - stroked to 347.
    Heads all new stainless valves & hardened exhaust seats & new guides. New springs & retainers.
    Heads already had comp cam 1.7 roller rockers.
    Going to duno it with the new E-BOSS Edelbrock intake topped off with a Holley 750 double pumper/mechanical.
    Cam is a custom grind roller HYD.
    I asked for a min. 450 HP
    Target is 400+ at the pavement.

    When the 302w was in it, me, a full tank of gas, it came to 2700 lbs
    I should be able to trim that weight if I can stay away from beer :rofl2:

    Track only car? 450 should have been easy with a 347 and those heads. Can't wait to see how you do at the track. Do you run 1/4 mile Reeves?

    Street/strip.
    Haven't been on a track since the 70s ! Will be back on one, after the car is back together/done. Lots to do after the engine is back. (ie: $)
