lol but yeah thats all i know right now, i need to get some wider tires for the front to it doesnt like turning all that much right now its got 245's out back and 195's in the front but regardless its a good place to start from
I'm going to guess around 300 HP. can't imagine it is currently pushing much much more with what we know - flat top pistons and restrictive exhaust. The good news is its all relative, the coupe is a light weight body, the skinnys up front save weight as does the 8" rear so you probably have a decent power to weight ratio. If the idle is normal and you run 87 octane then that would tell you he installed stock heads with a new valve job & maybe a mild performance cam. A free flowing exhaust should wake it up nicely, so I would go with that plan next followed by a 9" rear upgrade.
I have one saftey concern. If the running gear wasn't converted over to V8 parts (8" rear is not a good sign) then that your first mod. Start with upgrading the front brakes/spindels/springs or your looking for trouble, it isn't safe now with the added weight of the V8 up front vs the old I6.

well i cant run 87 in it cause it pings on that 92 with octane booster is working better though, and i go to school at MHS in marshalltown, IA we had our prom the 26th, i was having a crappy time so the race cheered me up a bit, i didnt spend much on this one but i went to the conrad prom a week earlier and my tux alone was 169.95 which is a load of bull just to rent it, where do you guys go?
