Yes the second owner still has the original motor.....he's just not ready to sell! Anyways, it made the perfect race car, and gave me a chance to leave the numbers cars at home. The 850 made up 1 more mph. Most of the differnce was by the 1/8th. I have not put the drag radials on as I still have the stock axles in it. I like the tires being the weak link. It should go 11's for fun with them on!

Pete, Do you know what power valve is in your Holley 850 DP? My L88 with 850 DP has a 65 in front and block off plug in back. It seems to run too rich so I was thinking of trying a power valve rated for a lower manifold vacuum. It has about 8 HG at idol according to my vacuum gauge.
