Brother, Can You Spare a "Dime"?

This one may not be a super cheap build, but it could surely be done without having to hock your old lady to pay for it.

1973-74 Pontiac 350 2-bbl/150 & 170/210

This engine has the exact same specs except for the 2-bbl as the engine in Bill Rink's Ventura GTO a few years back that got factored to 276 as a 4-bbl. The 2-bbl may slow it down, but I don't see 66 hp difference in classification. In a 15 lb. break class, 66 hp is 1000 lb! The potential of the engine is proven, just needs someone to try it. Plus, this engine is available with a 4-speed in a Ventura, Firebird or LeMans. Follow Billy's recipe for smart engine building and you have a competitor!
