I only know that because I met the second owners best friend at a car show in Oshawa, last August.

Apparently, the owner was a drinker. He came out of the bar one night after consuming one too many &quot;brown pops&quot;, and started reving the engine in the parking lot.
Something let go.

I was hoping that the original block would have given it's life in an effort to win a street race or something similar, but no such luck.

The block is a 4-bolt block, so it may have been higher horsepower than that. I do not know what was available.
The camshaft I pulled out of it was a 396/325 hydraulic, according to Colvin.
The block has been decked so, short of acid etching the pad, I will probably never know.
