Alan why on earth would you run a 140/240hp combo when you can run the 138/213hp combo? I also run a 1988 olds 307 138/213 and it's a good combo(-.95 the new index at the U.S. National this past year). The 140hp motor would haft to be around 225hp for me to even think of running it.

Now back to the main point. This 281ci combo is a rated fair when you compare it with other combos in the same class.
John fisher, Wade owens, Mean Gene, All 74-78 400ci, Doug patrick. Please tell me who would win class if all these cars ran heads up?
You can't tell me a little 281ci mustang is going to out run all these cars by .25.
