Well I have been driving it. With 2.73 gears I usually keep it in 2nd around town. Seems like maybe it's a 305 because it seems pretty under powered. Uses no oil. yay. I got all the gauges working but had to replace some of them. I don't recommend harbor freight gauges. I got a tripple set from Oreillys and used those. Went all mechanical. I haven't done anything to the engine yet. I have had the idle mixture passages on the edelbrock plug up twice so far (fix on edelbrock.com). I have read that the ramhorn exhaust is only like 10 hp below headers so I may just keep the ramhorns. Any feedback on that?
