The current 468 hasn't run yet, but is will be making around 520 HP and about the same in torque...according to the builder.

Hope to be in the 12's when I get it to the track.

Thanks! It's an "Integrated Head" six so most mods are out the door. I ditched the double hump valve cover and modified a standard cover to fit. The breather has a homemade plate steel base with a section of the original base welded in place. It's hard to find a "custom" air breather for a square top carb. LOL. I get a lot of comments about the oil cap, old school metal can oil spout welded to the cap.

My cousin left off the throttle because we were not moving!! We started to move however the tires were still smoking when he manually shifted it to third! I love that 700R4.

My 40 over 350 makes around 400 and ran low 8s in the 1/8th at around 80mph with a 700R4.
