Default Re: Good HP numbers?

When I began my 8ba build the thought was to get some good performance without going overboard.
1. 0.125" overbore
2. Merc crank
3. L100 cam
4. 3X97 carbs
5. Crab ignition
6. Offie 400 heads
7. Fenton headers
I don't plan on having a dyno check to see what it will produce. It will be what it is. The stock motor was rated at 85 hp, maybe. If mine will get 150 hp I will be happy. That is a big increase in power. Everything that I have read indicates that this is about it. It is hard for me to believe that a non-blown motor will get much more than that.
