Yeah, I remember the 1st one of those 4-cyl engines I saw. Some refer to 'em as half of a 389. A friend had bought one, that had been raced in a dragster, at our local track. IIRC, it had an SD455 head, pistons with HUGE domes, a roller cam, and Carrillo rods. Stored it in my shop for years. My friend never used it. But, it was a good conversation piece.

I think I read that Nunzi has a '63 Tempest, with one of those in it, which has run 11.70. Engine supposedly has all factory parts. Here's a short article about Nunzi. I have no idea if any of the stuff mentioned is true, or not. Maybe others here know.
