Right on, Craig! I have to admit that it was pretty fun flooring my so-called Falcon in the middle of turns (with no loss of grip whatsoever) at Thunderhill in March; this was when I was already going a freeway-level speed. Big tars and more advanced suspension travel/geometry do seem to beg for more power . . . Wouldn't a 351-based block make a bit more sense for the bigger power (and reliability)?

All aluminum big bore 347 (3.25" stroke, 4.125" bore) is ordered. 4" flares will be installed and new suspension for the increased track width and 315mm tires. I'll have about twice the horsepower and 2000 more RPMs and more mid corner grip. I'll got a few tricks to try to get down to the class minimum weight.
