You must be talking about the 420A version 389 tri-power engine that was rated at 348 hp built for racing. The regular tri-power engine was rated at 315 hp if I remember correctly.

Somebody refresh my memory - what was the code-# for that engine? Reminds me of the stories my Dad would tell about his '57 Starchief. He said it was so fast it could pass anything on the road - EXCEPT A GAS STATION. LOL. You must be talking about the 420A version 389 tri-power engine that was rated at 348 hp built for racing.

This would go in my "blues" folder, but alas and drat it's in webp format and I can't save those on my computer. They disappear for some reason.
