In other words...I own it. Get off your high horse.

I don't think I'm Joe anything.

Rather, I'm simply stating that no 283 or 327 fuelie in anything resembling stock form can rev to 7,500 RPM or produce anything close to its advertised (Gross) output in its "as installed" condition. The "375 HP" 327 fuelies, for example, produced roughly 275 SAE NET HP (the way modern engines are rated). As such, they were mid 14 second/100 MPH cars...That's fast by early-to-mid 1960's standards, though nothing a brand new, bone stock V6 Camry family sedan couldn't match.

Nearly half a century has passed since the first 327 Fuelies hit the streets. Huge technological advancements have taken place during that period.


Anyway...I hope you enjoy yours. How about posting some photos of it so we can all see it?
