Wish I could, Phish- thanks for the invite.

In case I haven't mentioned it before, I am not interested in being competitive with e.t.s. I just want the thrill of drag racing an original LO23, albeit with a bit more horsepower than they had in '68 (since I was going to build an alternate engine for the car, anyway). My engine is being built more for moderate racing and durability, rather than to be setting records, and I am only going to run it down our local drag strip for exhibition/ test & tune style runs... but still figure it should run in the low 9s at the least...
