Ive alredy got 250 Emblems to replace the 350 emblems on the side of the car. Although running it though my single 3in flowmaster setup might give something away...

its making like 115hp stock. (good motors still) amc 232's made 140, dodge slantways 6 made 85 (garbage motor), ford 300's made around 115 but with more torque than any other pre 5000cc engine of the era. international takes the cake though, with their 8500cc inline 6, putting out somethin around 300hp and almost 600ft lbs of torque? i dont remember, ill have to look in my motor truck books to see what it was exactly

you should have no problems with boosting that

They actually make 130-150hp Stock, and considering the intake and larger carb to kill the intake restrictions. Your right @ 6 Im not expecting much but then again this is a 70,000 mile stock motor well start with 6 and go from there if she like it at 6 well go higher the turbo i have should have no problems feeding it. These engine are notorious for letting rod bolts go under boost or Nitrous. The 250 with a mild cam and 8-10psi and the stock cast exhaust mani, is easily capable of 300+hp, the larger 292s built right on 16-20 psi are in the 700hp range and I have personally ridden in a 1200hp 292 Straight 6 Draw Through and Carburated
