I think sorted it will run 11.0 to teens at 120. I am thinking 550 or so hp and 3850 lbs on your bee. I am thinking along the same lines with my 63 savoy but with ported reproduction maxy heads, max wedge intake and exhaust manifolds and a flat tappet solid. I think the cam will be the limiting factor but I bet it will drive around town nice and be all done by 5500 rpm.

Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.
