I think they stopped making Vettes after the '67... 427 anyone !
The Vega, power to weight had a better power band than a Vette, if you could keep it on the road !
Chris, that's a MGBGT... with a V-8 ? Did someone build it or did they come that way ?
And I have a 350 in my '74 Stingray that puts out more HP and TQ than the stock '67 427 but it is not stock. If you want to go Hp to weight ratio the Nova weighed the same as the Vega and could handle a big block in the engine compartment.
A stock 427 in a Vette put out 390-425 HP... NO 350... EVER, put out 390 - 425 HP Stock !
Even the LT1 was only 375, yes a powerful engine, but not 390 plus horse power !
