Now with a rating of 188hp, apart from the cost of buying the car itself, I would think this could be built into a pretty good M,N,O car fairly cost effectively. Apart from the somewhat small carb, it has some pretty liberal cylinder head specs compared to other very similar SBF heads, and some pretty good compression capabilities. Just some food for thought.

Good luck trying to find a decent body to start a build on. If one was to be found would probably be an Az. car. All those up north rusted away decades ago. If one tackled this it would be a 10+ on the cool meter !
