>>> The 300 also weighs about 100lbs more than a 302 (also about 215 lbs more than the 250). That is all over the front wheels on a car that already lacks the best weight distribution. Lots of torque, but don't plan on doing more than a 1/4 mile at a time.

: : >>> I did say "crazy". BTW the 1970 stock 250 is rated 240 ft lbs. The Boss 302 is rated 290 ft lbs.
