guys - thanks to all - i will not be racing this car, but driving it on the street - the driving will be robust, to the extent allowed by subarban settings and US highways
as for a low budget build, whether it was good or bad, i can say he paid just over 10K for the parts and labor - does that constitute low budget??
i was told by the seller that this was the first rebuild - so why he went 40 over and not 30 over i don't know, i'll try to find out
Dan - the info you wanted from the dyno is as follows:
peak torque of 475 ft lbs happens at 4,908 rpm
peak hp of 491.8 happens at 6,301
what does that data tell you?
