We build a project car when I was a kid that used a 70 Chevelle 350 V8 with

4 barrel holley carb and dual exhaust. I think? it was 300 hp? It accelerated so quickly it was an insane deathtrap. You'd have to first practice giving it gas bc it had so much torque, and I guess maybe the tire traction sucked. Can't imagine 450 hp, because I think it would have trouble staying on the road. Our project car was also probably a lot lighter than a standard chevelle that the engine came out of. I might have an old pic somewhere. ** Edited by reconhokie at 6/28/2022, 3:38:32 PM
