good find, and I agree hot rods seem to have gone from flat painted lite-weight cars with ginormous engines shoehorned into the frame rails into who has the prettiest shell around a 350 chevy and it saddens me.

156cuin about 300hp, not sure on exact hp as its still being built, its a motor out of a midget race car, which used to run on methanol but i had the compression cut down from 16.5:1 to 12:1 to run on pump gas and had a custom ground cam to bring the power into the lower rpms (i ran this motor at 9000rpm in the midget, it would last 1 year) o and it was making over 350hp so im hoping its still around 300
