Hi Donald Duck :- )

No I agree, street engine is maybe a bit too much, BUT he don't race in it !
It was a dream for him, to make a huge engine, and install in his 68, so he did :- )

I admire the skill it takes to make a custom engine, but being a road course guy I'm not a big fan of a heavy engine with a high center of gravity.
