You know, I can't ever remember one racing back
then, but if you search the web these days, there
are a lot of photos of them racing back then. I
should think that 375 - 450 HP ought to be within
the realm of reality for a 2.5 liter (might as
well punch it out to 2.99999 and take full
advantage of the class) and that should, indeed,
make an interesting and fun car. I thought it
would be a neat littler belly tank motor.
