Re: 64 Pace Car Story
Yes, interesting story. I find the 450 HP claim from a 289 a bit of a stretch, however. If I recall correctly, full race 289's from that era topped out at around 350 HP (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong). And even if you could produce 450 HP, it wouldn't last that long. The bottom ends just weren't that strong. But if anyone could do it, I suppose it would be H-M.

Re: 64 Pace Car Story
Your right about the 289...i guess the cobras like the dragonsnake were said to be making 380 to 390....but that was with the help of webers.
Best Regards, Vern
