I wasn't able to get my 1965 Impala out this year..but will be ready for next season. With the 396/325 HP big block and TH350 for H/sa or heavy I/SA..but a Jerico showed up, collecting parts for that now..less heads up with a stick car anyway.!

Was looking through the guide the other day and happened upon the 265 - 2V Pontiac V8 that was available in a Lemans that fits into U. Has anyone ever tinkered with this motor? Was a 1980 combo.

Trying another cam in the 396, to go back to 325hp deal, broke transmssion last local race of the year so may take that opportunity to upgrade, and trying some different collectors. See if I can't get to that magic -1.00

Billy, why wouldnt you touch that combo?

Billy Nees · 12-21-2019, 08:02 PM

Have you ever seen one apart? They make a 301 2V look good and only 5 HP less.
