351C 2v, 4bbl,FMX, 9" Rear 3.50 gears
Hey guys, I don't want to assume anything, just want your input on this.
I've got a 72 vert, with rebuilt 351c 2v heads, edelbrock 600cfm carb & intake ,patriot long tube ceramic headers w/3" pipes,RV cam, 3.50 posi, Mallory 1 wire distributor. I think my engine produces close to or maybe over 300 horsepower. This is a motor I bought from a friend, that had it rebuilt about 14 years ago (10 before I installed it).
I test drove my friends 2010 camaro SS that produces about 420 hp, and each time I floored it, felt like as it was almost as fast as my car. My car really takes off w/o even trying hard. Could it be that my block is producing more hp than I'm anticipating?
I know I could take it for a dyno test, but currently I'm not fit to spend hundred or two just to find hp.
Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.
