Unless I missed something, it looks like DWRAT nailed it to the exact horsepower (and cubic inch displacement).



You will notice that it was still making horsepower at the end of the pull. We had a bit of an issue with a cylinder head and it was leaking water at one one of the rocker arm stud bosses. One of the setbacks with working with 50 year old parts is that they have been beat on for......well....50 years.

So we had siliconed the crack and the rocker stud but I was just afraid to pull it really high for fear that the stud would work itself loose. Right after this pull, we cooled it down, then jerked the intake and head off so the cracks could be repaired.

Will post video soon.
