Not trying to hi-jack Whelan's thread, but I can't remember the casting number. I know they're real primitive. Oval port, small cc with 2.06 Int and 1.72 Exh. Probably 97.2 cc.
Bob's right about a better set of heads making more power. A better intake would also make more power, so would a better cam, headers, etc. But I wanted to keep it low rpm and lotsa torque to not pound the hell out of the numbers matching block.
My theory has worked pretty well though. The car's raceweight is 3950 and still managed a 1.59 60ft with plenty of daylight under the LF tire. I've never dynoed it but common sense would tell you that it takes a lot of torque to get a heavy car like that to perform as well as it has. I've been in the winners circle many times with that car.
