A question for all the "rocket" engineers.

The one with the biggest carb and the most compression in the smallest car! Now will somebody please build something!

Then, the guide is wrong. They were 305"s, there were millions of them.

The guide is just incomplete, combo never submitted or approved.

The 350 in the guide is a dish piston low compression motor not a flat top motor.
