Agreed, a TYPICAL stock 350 would be anemic for most. 350HO would likely be a different story.

Interesting, I read an article about Jim Wangers last night, and it mentioned he wanted to do a 350 powered GTO for 1969. I never knew that! Delorean had something to say, tho...

1969 GTO Judge

“This is my favorite one of the lot, by far,” admits Jim. “We wanted something to beat the Road Runner–you know, low-priced. I wanted to call it the ET (for Elapsed Time). It was a 350 with GTO heads, a bench seat, no trim rings, and it was a B-post coupe. I showed it to John DeLorean, and he said that ‘over my dead body’ will there ever be a GTO with fewer than 400 cubic inches. So that was that.
