WoW, 3" exhaust, you sure its that big? As far as hp, maybe 230 hp. Oh, you can trailer it to the track, you don't need insurance there, even if you had it I don't think they're gonna cover you , or even want to insure you after!</P>

225 hp is stock back in 88'. it starts to loose compression after a while. as for cams, wait till you get a better set of heads before you think of what kind of cam!!!!! i have an e303, but i also run w/ windser jr. push dart stage 3 heads, ported and polished.

i know, but after 15 years of being driven, it starts to loose it's compression. these are awsome project cars, you just have to be patient, and rebuild it!!!
