Personally I think he's nuts--- Definitely not the way I would go---ME I think I would look at some sort of a SBC---those BBC can get real expensive real quick !!!!!!!! not that a SBC is any cheaper---then factor in a trans , convertor, rear gears etc. he is going to spend a whole summer just to get the car down the track with decent numbers--Thnks all for the input FED 387

Look at it like it was suggested to me on a Gen 3 car I have.
A well known racer told me to run a mild BB and run .5 under or where ever. You then have a fast enough and dependable enough car to make some big money bracket races. Multi purpose.
I'm going to do the baby oval port 402.

Jim,
Was thinking about the '71 402 / 300 for GT RWD Auto rated at 312 with a 291 head or 322 with GMPP alum head...
Not sure what would fit best in the Gen 3 car I have.
I like the 375 HP 402's too...I have most of the parts for one with GMPP Heads.. any thoughts or advice?

I think wait till next year and build a GT car with the new 572. Would that be legal in an older car for GT?

No. Only FGT (Factory GT) classes. Same with any other new COPO engine. Still a cool combination, though!
