I built a motor from that article back in the mid '90s and put it in a 66 Catalina convertible. Probably weighed 4500 pounds. It ran about 96 mph at e.t. 15.10 at sea level. Open rear end with 3.23 gears IIRC. Street tires- no traction.
Sold the car to someone in Norway. Kept the motor. Sold it in a '72 Ventura to a guy who immediately jerked the 455 out and went sbc. Engine got ruined sitting outside in the weather. I bought the remains back from him recently and I wanted to refresh my memory of what I did against the build in HHP. Bought a 67 Tempest recently to put it in. Anxious to get things rolling!
I'll dig around this weekend and see if I can find it.
