A car I bought in high school, always wondered what the horsepower should have been, what do you think?
Bored out 292, Crane solid lifters/dual springs/cam, TRW pistons 12.5:1 compression), Accel ignition, Eldebrock Torker 289 high-rise intake manifold, Holly dual pump 750, Holley electric fuel pump near the gas tank, Lakewood traction bars, leaf springs out of a Ford 390 (sat really high off the ground), Craeger mags, and Micky Thompsons, rear end 4:89 ( At 60 mph (( 4th gear), it was indicating around 3200 rpm), Hooker headers and short pack (early cutoffs), had all SW guages, and the engine was blueprinted and ballpinned/manaflexed, redline was 7200 rpm), the paint was Poppy Orange, what is there, the guy had printouts of 12.20's at the strip. What kind of horsepower do you guys think this was really putting out, my God, it seems nearly as fast or faster than my Cobra, thanks in advance, Doc.
