They are pretty decent motors. I have the same one in my car. Stock minus an aluminum intake and Edlbrock 600, it runs 15.1 in the 1/4. Not fast but for a crate it's not bad. Headers and a slightly larger cam would get you in the 14's.
ok well that wud prob answer my question. my car has been actin like it wants to backfire since i changed my spark plugs and i gapped it at .45 them autozone guys be killin me!!dedub said:Auto Zone told me .45 also. BUT, I went to NAPA the other day and presented my plug dilemma like I had never asked anyone before and they told me .35. I trust the folks at NAPA. They've been far more helpful and knowledgeable in the past and sounded like they knew what they were talking about....unequivocally! Go with the Auto-lite .35 and the hotter of the two plugs. Basically they have a stock one for that motor at .35 and (1) that is a tad hotter, go with that one. I did and the car/truck runs great!
