The 290 doesn't look too bad at 210hp. I wasn't sure about the 4 speed. You can run it it L, seeing you already have a bar (cage?).

I really don't see the 6 cylinder running the index in Q/Stock.
How about it, Tom Goldman?

thought the 2bbl 290s were 200 horse and the 4bbl's were 225....
i could be wrong.

NHRA took 15HP off the combo.Trust me,you would not be happy with the 232 3 speed drivetrain.
Dwight,CRS is a bitch isn't it?

yep, you're right on both counts, i didn't read ALL the page and i prolly wouldn't like the 6 in it BUT, as i said, it might be fun until i get a 290 built.... and i'm leaning towards the 4bbl version and it HAS to be a 4 speed....

Mark, I'd be very impressed if it ran under the index in Q ....Even at 2800#. ..... This combo is lower in compression and cam lift than a 258 like Ed F's combo that runs in T., altho the ports are much larger on the earlier heads .....On the plus side ,I guess you could run a 4 speed T-10 in it and not use 4th gear, that would at least give some strength not found in the 3 speed. ....The 290 combo is the sweet one ,only 2900# in K,3005 in L, only as a 4 speed with the 4 barrel in '67 ..Billy Nees has been pestering me to build one of them for years. If Billy likes it ,is got to be good!

I think so too... What is the carb rated at? Bigger cam and carb than a 283 and 10 less horse ...hmmm
Not exactly a 10 cent car ..as Billy would say..
