Ya, I agree, what good is say, 1210 h.p. anyway. All it will do is get you to work, or the store quicker. Sheesh. Good Golly. It does make the heart go pitta pat though. Before I took the '60 off the road, I took my wife for a ride down the street. We stopped at this little gas station, and when we left I accidently pushed the go pedal real hard. She had her sunglasses on her head and they flew into the back window and her hair went straight back. After I released the pressure off my right foot and we settled into 3rd, I looked over at her and she had this LOOK on her face. All she said was "Now that was totally uncalled for" "But honey, I had a cramp in my foot" he he he Too much H.P.? NEVER!

If I could run 600 hp on pump gas I would on the street in a heart beat . I am open for ideas!!!

Well now 600 H.P. would only be 3 digits. Don't forget you need some "Passing" power & "On Ramp" acceleration capabilities.

Too much is just about right . . .

Well my dad had a big block stuck in to an old 62 nova with a blower and athere odds and ends.Long story short at the supper chevy show about 11 years ago on the staging lane he managed to rip the car in to two. I liked that car too.

Time to consider frame connectors or better yet a full chassis/cage. What let go exactly?
