281? That's a really good respectable number for a 304 brothers! I was hoping to see 250 to be honest. To get 281 out of such a small displacement V8 is really really good. That'll get that wagon rolling out. 281 without ANY boost is crazy good! Just think of how it'll be when it gets 14 psi and is making close to 500...

My mate has a set of original B50 SIMMONS on his 300ZX, one of very few unmolested OG twin turbo TT (targa top) Z's in the country. Has never overheated and not a leak in sight. Value will just go up because so many have been modified or turned into race cars.
