Engine;
2332cc Type 1 based on CB Ali race case, CB forged crank with chevy journals and 8 doweled. (86mm x 94mm)-CB wedge ported heads 44m intake, 37.5mm exhaust valves pushing CB 1.4:1 ratio rockers - 9.7:7 compression ratio - WebCam 86c cam - weber 44mm carbs - stock tinwear - external oil cooler with fan and scope
This combo made 140bhp at the wheels on the RACESHACK Mustang Dyno (which is known to underead compared to most due the the nature of a chassis dyno) - this equates to about 185-190bhp at the crank.
This will increase when it has 48mm throttle bodies and fuel injection fitted (next step) and will then increase again to around 300+bhp when the turbo is plumbed in - watch this space.
