A 351 TT should put down twice the power that thing makes.

Thats what i thought too, maybe the infos wrong, it was just from another forum, nothing concrete. Could be a combination of a stock heads,low compression,low boost.

Never heard of such a thing either, the front bumper looks like ****. And yeah motorman524, that twin turbo'd 351 should make more power than that, must've had really low boost and junk heads..... that's kinda messed up.
