The Imperial actually had the Wheaties to spin the rollers. I'm fairly impressed with this old yacht. It made more power than I expected.
This was done to get baseline numbers for the stock 440 prior to installing a small cam and heads. Stock was 225 hp @ 4400 rpm and 345 ft-lb @ 3200 rpm. This pull came in at 192 hp and 255 ft-lb. Not bad for an old low compression smog era motor.

I'd like to thank the guys at Speedtek for letting me dirty their dyno with my old dinosaur. We knew it'd come in pretty low but I didn't expect to hear that it was not the lowest power big block they'd run That title went to a 454 making 165 hp.
