Brent, the reason no one runs the 400 in the 72 lemans is because it is rated 5 hp higher than the 455. The 55 is the much better combo. You could run the index with a bone stock shortblock.
No doubt... i think i could shatter it, by atleast .3-.4, with no trouble... i think legal weight, is 4075... The '62 weighs only 50lbs less than that, and runs 12teens, with nothing...only real difference, would be about point and half, of compression...ITs something i may have to throw together, in the next couple years... biggest issue is rear axle... IT would be fun, and hook on gravel!
