I am not cutting your combo because anyone that can run under the index impresses me and that's not easy with anything. If you want to stay in K/sa you can make your car a Nomad 2 seat wagon @585 lbs.lighter than the 402. Its not going to be easy with any engine,but I know I would rather have the 350. Good luck. Rick.

I think the main problem with the 402 in our 71 wagon is the intake manifold. Our current engine builder said the manifold is the limiting factor for making good power with that engine. I would love to stay in K/SA (because I have 2 engines and parts to boot) but, I also want to be somewhat competetive within my own class. Currently I am not anywhere near what other K stockers are running. The car itself is a good car hooks good, drives straight, and is an easy car to drive. I'd would like to keep it even if I have to go to a different engine combo.
