Yeah ,that little motor will haul a**! 15.30 @ 89 in a Citation with stock HO long block, street and strip cam, stock converter and stock 3.33 final drive, and home made headers (Ya hear me, Gary H?).
The HO heads came with a factory 4 angle valve job. That was always fun in teardown.
I always thought it would run in a RWD car with real gears and converter.
