This engine has significantly more potential. Advance the cam timing to move the torque and hp curves up in RPM, then work from there. There will be other cam/head treatments that were worked out that way. This is a street engine.

I think that this engine would work with an unmodified THM400 or THM500 (Eldorado transverse), providing excellent driveability, reasonable gas mileage, and alien-abduction-like move-the-car torque on demand. Just the way I like it.

Lighter than a SBC, because of the use of a more expensive alloy in the block? I can easily believe that. A couple of years back, we had a fellow wanting to run a 425 in oval-track racing against SBC's. I would like to hear back from that.
