Bill Kennedy began driving the car in 2016. It is 400 powered. Most of the 400 powered GT cars run either 6X heads or 4X heads. As posted, most who run 4X heads probably claim a '73 model 200hp big car 400 engine, cause the NHRA hp factor is a bit lower than for the '74 model, at least at the time I'm posting this. 275hp vs 290hp. But NHRA could change that at almost any time.

The '77 -'78 6X head 400's are now factored @ 289hp for GT/Auto. I suppose that's because there have several really quick Birds running the 6X head 400. That's why most guys try not to run any quicker than they have to. Lots of NHRA class racers have run their combo too quick & rendered it almost non-competitive, for heads-up runs.
At this race the car is listed as an '83 model. But, it's running GT/IA. Bill did have an '83 Bird. But, it had a 305 & ran SS/KA at the div 1-4 race. So, I'm pretty sure Bill was driving the Vic Santos '85 Bird at this race.
