    What is considered the best, I seem to remember 572 or 6 from back in the day, but could be way off too.

    When I get home I’ll get you all the info if numbers on that CPL 0531.

    With some pump work along with a good set of tuned injectors and a good Turbo you can get up around 500 fairly easy.
    If it has the injectors I’m thinking it does, a set of injectors for CPL 310 will take you from stock 176’s to 190’s. A little pump work along with a dual fuel line setup will surprise you!

    Your probably thinking about CPL 625 ? Which is a good CPL for the 400.

    That's a 359. Look at the breathers and the center of the top of the hood

    Sleeper is later model, a 359 would have a full length hoor door on the front right of the sleeper

    It looks like a 359 to me, where are you guys seeing any pictures that has the air cleaner or passenger side of the sleeper?

    I think, if I had gone that far, I would have mounted another shifter in it, even if just for show. lol
