It's a race car with a license plate. It has a eaerly 400 block in it, I think it has a custom ground flat tappet cam.Slow it up by putting that engine in it???YEAH RIGHT!!

I guess the 2V 289 had a bit much grunt & he wanted to make it more streetable. He could have achieved a similar result by just buying a T code 6cyl. You can lead a horse to water...................but to make real horse power, you need a Pontiac V8.
