    Street Rodder Magazines October 2015 edition wrote about the reproduction of the Show and Go Grasshopper T-bucket from the cover of Hot Rods 1959 October edition. I have the original article and no mention of HP. Street Rodder quotes the owner, builder Geraghty as saying it had 800 HP. It sounded a little exaggerated to me? The 59 edition mentions it is 461CI, bored 3/16" over its orginal 4" and stroked 3/16" with stock size valves in ported heads and a 471 or fuel injected Olds. So what do you think the HP really was? 400+? not even? http://www.hotrod.com/cars/featured...recreating-the-ultimate-show-and-go-t-bucket/ Pete
