I want to put a motor together for a 66 or 67 Chevelle and I run across Edelbrocks power packages and thought they looked pretty good. I am new to this place and would like any advise and thought on this. Is there anything diffrent that I could do to this motor to get more HP or is this plenty with this set up. With 540 HP under the hood of a 66 Chevelle what kind of time will I be looking at in the 1/4 mile. Thanks!
