I bought the car a couple of years ago, a 69 Firebird, not so much for the engine but the owner told me not to scrap it.Despite it's looks he assured me it was a strong runner, just needed some work.I tinkered with it, got it running and damned if he wasn't right, it's quick.I just recently tore it down and here's what it's got.It's a 355 with flat top pistons, a single plane Edelbrock intake, 600 Holley and a Comp Cams 274H cam.Behind it is a Saginaw 4 speed and a 355 rearend.
You guys are right, bigger isn't always better and the cam that I took forever to select has set off the combination nicely....300- 340 hp?? but I can't help wonder how many horses those 2.02's would add
