Expected HP 550 on pump gas and 750 on race fuel. I have been told that at 800 the crankshaft will leave the building without dowelling the mains. I know of 3 guys running 1000 HP out of their 292's. I already own the rotisserie. I'm keeping my leaf springs so it just seems simpler to use the frame rails because of all the mounting. I like Mr 48's idea of setting the boxing back a little for lines and wiring. There is a youtub video out there of a guy in a 48 chevy pickup running an 8.44 sec with leaf springs and 1000 HP

sounds like one heck of a motor, looking forward to seeing it and the build process
