Don't let anyone tell you that you need 600 hp to have a good time in one of these, other than the track there's nowhere for you use that power anyway. Hit a freeway on-ramp and you're well past the speed limit as you roll in traffic. If there had been an affordable Slabside kit when I built my 427-style street car I would have gone that way. A warmed over small block is plenty to keep you amused. You can keep the authentic look and still have something that will leave your eyeballs back at the stoplight.
