What is the HP rating for the 327 with the 585 quick fuel carb? I just picked up a 327 engine.

[Jim Hawkins]

Mike,
If I have this figured correctly in your car you would have to run GT with a factor of 293 auto.
With a Q Jet a factor of 295 in super stock.
I have looked at this for my 67 camaro.
Seems to me the Q Jet would be worth the extra 2hp with the auto.
In my car with a stick the small carb is 289 in GT.

Mike,

it is the 1966 Corvette 327/300 @ 293 for SS/GT classes.

the 585 Quick Fuel is a good carb. While I understand many racers run great with a Q-Jet I elected the simplicity of the Holley

At 3170 pounds the Super 10 has run 10.40 in 2700 feet air. The original build has been improved in several small ways and I "expect" 10.20's this season.

We have progress with the Super 10 engine package. It going back together with a triple check of EVERYTHING

[Dragsinger]

Super 10 progress continues. The short block is finished.

It has been many years and many builds since one of my builds included a dip stick. yet, now it seems like a good idea.

Super 10 updates are on the back burner for a while. The East Texas economy is greatly depressed these days. In my home town of Kilgore Tx the City has made great strides with attracting and diversifying business other than oil related.

Yet Kilgore and surrounding areas remain strongly tied to oil production as major cash suppliers for the local economy.

2016 marks 44 years of owning and operating a small automotive repair shop [Woodfin Automotive] I have weathered many cycles of up and down business but this round is the worst ever.

Many folks laid off, many shops closed. It is a very tough time.

We are hunkered down and being very thrifty. No race money is on the horizon.
