I estimate like 740 to 750 it would seem, I have no clue what level of torque it put out, but it would lift the front wheels 1.5 ft off the track until we lowered the wheely bar’s.

Note that once the heads where fitted with the larger valves that the motor was dead on 14.5 to 1 compression.

For the mph in the 1/4 I will check with my friend,
This was in a 67 GTO so the frontal area was not that of a first gen FB.
