Reply to "Engine Rebuild Required!"

As Doug said, 450 bhp is likely enough for the street unless you budget $10k MORE for "other" upgrades. After all, that's over 125 bhp more than the most uncivilized '71 ever delivered new, and more than most of the GR-4s had for LeMans or Spa. 450bhp will blow away 295-50x 15" tires on 10" wheels in 1st and second until you get used to the power, and will need much better brakes, bigger front tires & handling upgrades for safe driving. I'd also suggest a chassis stiffener kit to keep the body panels from cracking due to frame-twist. More will only get you to the same rev limiter cut-off a little faster unle$$ the ZF is regeared. 325 real bhp will top out at about 160 mph @6000. What are you expecting to do with the car when the engine is done?
