Hit the dyno!
I did a total of 2 runs just to see what would happen. Anything that could go wrong did, and at 1:30 my dad was putting a new set of points in the distributor. (Appointment at 2:00)
Anyways, first run: Peak HP: 214.0@ 5100 RPM
Peak Torque: 247.3 ft/lbs @ 3600 RPM
For the second run, I removed my puny air cleaner just to see what would happen, and boy what a difference.
Peak HP: 220.7@ 5300 RPM
Peak Torque: 254.3 ft/lbs @3600 RPM
These are at the wheels, but the dyno estimated that it would be putting out 280 flywheel HP, which is less than I originally thought.
Neverless I am happy, and the car sounded so nice at WOT it was unbelievable.
Keep in mind the car isn't tuned, A/F is off, timing is slightly out. Should make 300 flywheel HP tuned correctly.

Thats this winter's project, better ignition!
The setup is pretty much
302 bored 30 over,Pistons, compression, ported heads, cam, intake. Maybe the budget can include some aluminum heads, then it'll be nuts!

Anyways, it handles fine as its on stock struts and springs. Aluminum heads will make it even better, shedding 50 more pounds or so, and boosting the HP like a ****. I'm using an Edelbrock Performer intake with a Holley 570CFM Street Avenger. Looking to upgrade to at least a 650. Don't know the specs on the cam though.
