this week I plan to fix my gas pedal to get full throttle. Don't get your hopes up it is really close to full throttle. When I remade the tranny tunnel the pedal now hits the overlapping metal and missed full throttle by a quarter inch.

Also going to put the larger carb on it that made 2 MPH on the old W8 engine. This one might like that too. You just don't know until you try things. Have not had time to experiment with timing. I am fairly sure a cam change would pick this engine up NA quite a bit. The peak HP is at 7,400. Change the cam to what the 358 had for lobes or more and it should bring peak HP to 8,500. Should be relatively easy to move peak torque from 6,100 to 6,700 and make well over 900 HP over 8,000 RPM.
