Exhaust 272
The attempt was to approximate the power she used to make without using 112 octane. Before the rebuild, she was running stock (ported) 502 iron heads, a stock hydraulic cam & a 25% overdriven 6-71 with Holley 750 DP's. With this setup, she could pull 720 HP @ 5600 RPM. I bought her this way & didn't care for pumping my own fuel from a 55 gallon drum. The last drum of 112 I bought was $3.65 gallon & she went through fuel like poop through a goose!
I also didn't like the 25% overdrive situation as the 6-71 was making way too much heat. I could have turned the boost down, but the power loss was significant. I feel the expense of the rebuild was worth it, if only to get a fresh motor & one that can live happily on 91 octane.

I bought the 76 in August , but haven't been able to work on it. When I get a chance I'll post some pictures.
