approx how many horses does this beauty put out??

@CORPORATELECTROO

We still haven't made it to a dyno. We estimate it added somewhere around 75 hp to the engine.

The stock engine puts out ab out 75 rear wheel hp. With the head and all the other mods we've done, we're somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 hp right now.

Where did you get the low profile air filter?

[LRobaldo]

The air filter came from Spectre Performance.

Hello!!

In Argentina, stock ¨Falcon Sprint ´74-´82¨, with 221Cu.In., and cast iron head, with multiple intake, and Holley 2brl of 40mm (I estimate no more 350cfm), got 170hp.

With THIS head, and ignition, but, better exhaust, probably find the 250hps, but, this type of head used only in TC (Turismo Carretera) competitión, fabricated here, ONLY for this racer cars.

With these heads, and 188 cu.in, at 9.000 rpm generates more than 300hp!!!

But, not got these torque!!

Beautyfull gob man! Greatings

Yes, the head is currently available and is sold by Classic Inlines (dot) com.

We thought about that, but unfortunately the "hood latch support bracket" runs from the top of the grill to the bottom of the radiator. It only has about 1/2" clearance between it an the radiator.

We couldnt' figure out a way to eliminate the bracket witout resorting to hood pins which we do not want.

@LRobaldo Then why not a "pusher fan" on the other side my friend?

[LRobaldo]

Believe me, we tried! But we could not find an electric fan that would fit between the water pump and the radiator. There just isn't enough clearance.

Where did you get the low profile air filter? Also, why spend all that money and not put in an electric fan?
