You may want to look at other options. Anything much over 350 HP in the Roadster will be hard to use, you will not have exponential acceleration increases due to tires (unless you run race tires).
My own 289 is going together now and is about 340 HP on an custom spec'ed engine from ATK. With the 3.54 Salisbury in my car, the .82 fifth gear I will have a quick (not 427 rocket ship status, but fast enough) MK II that will cruise well, move off the line and run cool.

Rick,
Looks nice, is that going to be your personal car or one you are getting ready for sale? |
