with stock compression? 280ish rwhp prolly. give or take. AOD will be lower obviously. too many variables really.

RE: Horsepower Guesstimate ?
OR X will give you a little better top end. the cam is a limiting factor, those heads will flow at a higher lift then what youre getting out of the e303. TF stage 1 will wake it up some more. anything bigger requires notching the pistons. aluminum flywheel will help too. you might be able to work on the timing to get a little more out, but thats about it id say. keep in mind though, in a little car like this thats C5 Corvette territory. itll giddy up and go, no doubt there. should be a fun ride.

I'm hoping it's fast. Someone had told me their 79 with and automatic trans weighed 2700'bs without the driver. Hoping it will be quick.

Yea but it will be more of a street cat. Won't see much of the track so I was curious. Was also looking for HP numbers to throw into a ET calc for the fun of it.

Should be around 280-290 or so. And a different cam might be better but the alphabet cams are proven to work good for a 20 year old design.

RE: Horsepower Guesstimate ?
i agree around 275rwhp with that cam , swap it out for something a little more aggressive unless its a dd car. ?
anyways good build in a not so common car.
