thats what i thought i read---now you multiply that by 7 or 8 . whatever that number is something and add 175 pounds driver weight to get your car minimum weight correct?

GT/B and GT/BA - 6.50 Lb/HP 3023 -261 3193 9.70 9.80 6.32 6.38

With a 1970 402 375 HP it makes the weight of the car better..

GT/E and GT/EA - 8.00 Lb/HP 3240 -43 3410 10.00 10.10 6.50 6.57

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
