Re: how much hp ?????

I would guess around 350-375, more or less depending on what has been done to the heads and the compression. I would have to say a 650 might be a better choice for carbs. It's a matter of making parts work together. A 650 carb and 3,000 rpm stall it should be a pretty quick ride. For the street 3.42 gears with that overdrive work good for me, and i can still cruise at 90.
