Thanks to everyone for the kind replies. I know its not the fastest car for sure but it works great for me as it has not broke anything since putting the 493 in the car 8 years ago in 2011 and all I have to do is change the oil a few times a year and adjust the valves once a year. And I check the plugs once a year so with my health issue's that slow me down a lot its a nice simple to maintain car that runs good enough for me to enter some NSS races every now and then when I am up to it and can afford to go racing. I drive it most of the time on the street to local car shows and cruises but I love drag racing it the most by far and wish I could go more and get after the car some more. Ron
