Shoot, I have had this car in and out of my life for the last two years while other projects have come and passed, so I take it as a sign lol...
If it sucks, then lesson learned. I'll just try something different, like the 302.
Mark, being the other Vet whose advice I weigh heavily, I understand the design flaws of the 200 here, but is there something else I am missing? Would it be better to you if the HP was corrected to 115 and not 140?

Certainly, but then you'd be down the same rating as the Monza I have for sale with the same size engine and a TWO bbl. carb.
