The 289 V8 in my son's '54 Stude has a McCulloch. It makes most of power in the 2,500+ range. It is scary fast. Mike McGuire's record Bonneville runs were made with an almost stock 302 GMC with a McCulloch. He said it pulls hard through the whole rpm range. The argument will be made that the turbo is "free" power. The McCulloch is fun. John Erb in Carson City rebuilds them. Beater
