Pump gas in a SD 421 engine?
I am looking real hard at a 62 421 Catalina, ad 1969201, and I went over and heard it run and talked to the guy that built it. The engine is brand new built and is an old 4-bolt 421, this is a pro street car. They fired it up and it is a bad boy, looks and sounds like one of the old B/FX cars. It is supposed to be a 305 duration cam with 11 to 1 compression. I don't want to have to drive 60 miles to the nearest drag strip to get racing fuel for this thing and I just wonder if these octane boosters that you get at the auto parts stores is any good. Most of the stuff I read on the internet about these boosters is from guys who use it in their new BMW, totally different car than what I am looking at. I just want to drive this thing two or three times a month. Any advice?? Thanks.
