Now with a rating of 188hp, apart from the cost of buying the car itself, I would think this could be built into a pretty good L,M,N car fairly cost effectively. Apart from the somewhat small carb, it has some pretty liberal cylinder head specs compared to other very similar SBF heads, and some pretty good compression capabilities. Just some food for thought.
I agree that this is now a possibility, Also note that the C5 head (which is a much better head) is legal on that combo.
