255 horsepower? Wasnt a dauntless about a buck sixty?
Yes, but with some modifications you can readily boost the horsepower. With headers, a specially ground cam, larger bores, hei ignition, and a four barrel carb, by 225 racing engine was noticeably stronger than the stock engine. It had the coolest sound, too … I never knew how much hp was made.
All that said, i suspect the seller confused the 225 CI with 255 HP.
I figured… I had a 225 with headers, hei dual point, and a mild crane cam that on paper should’ve been a tick over 200hp. As I recall the 2bbl provided more fuel at lower rpms, but my memory aint what it was, lol.
…and it did sound awesome 🙂
My 231 is built almost the same as my 225, but just doesn’t have that same sound .. parts are easier to find though.
Hi, I was wondering if this is still for sale? I saw the craigslist ad has expired so not really sure, or how to find out who seller is? I haven’t ever been on this site before.
