My motor dyno'd at 594 HP and 601 TQ on the initial break-in. Installed in the car , it probably makes 450 HP at the wheels or so.

The car is 99.9% correct, every nut and bolt. (427 SO/Toploader/rear/etc, etc)

Near uncontrollable in the first 2 gears, but OK in 3rd and 4th. It will still spin the tires at 60-70 MPH in 3rd.

500 HP in a 2200 # car is way enough IMO unless your going to road race it on big tracks or drag it.

If I do another 427 (Will be a street car vice S/C), it will have 100 less HP than the one I have now.
