Man Gary I love your enthusiasm. You may just convince me to run my 289ci/2bbl in my boat.

If that 2bbl is a Holley 500cfm'er, hold on to your hat (and keep that life preserver good and tight), because I believe they were as competitive against 4bbl's as a 340 Mopar, or a 351 Cleveland Ford were/are against some big blocks!!!

Greg Schmutz in Division 1 runs a 79 Malibu with a 200 V6 in V/SA and is VERY fast !!!

A 200? The baby to the 229? VERY impressive! I started drag racing in a G-body. I grabbed a Mopar (slant six Aspen coupe), but as I go along here I'm thinking I should grab a V6 Malibu just in case...there's a granny-fresh one with a 229 and a bad trans in the wrecking yard right now!

Hooker had headers for 229 when i got mine i don't know if still offer them haven't checked for years.I didn't know Schmutz was a 200 i figured was 229 or 267\v8 I knew he was fast ,200 that fast is really flying.

Don't forget about 4.3L TBI. Hugely underfactored. Should run mid 12's in a monte carlo or el camino not leaning too hard on it.
