The '76 was the low point at 165 hp. By '82 it had come back up to 200 horse, but with 340 ft/lb of torque. Combined with the 700R4 trans, it will smoke those big 255's! And a very nice cruiser.

I added roller rockers 3" exhaust with hi-flow cats, and hi-flow intake, so there are a few more ponies there also.
