[donwag]

I am hoping it runs as good as it looks. We are going to run it in on a dyno so we will have some pretty good data soon.

Thanks.

Nice

Question, why would you do such a nice motor and not put in the '71 style higher compression pistons ? L2380 I think.

[donwag]

Wanted to keep the compression around 9 to 9.5 for a daily driver on pump gas. On the Destop Dyno it still shows 350+ hp and 450+ torque. That was my target. Should do it fine with the stock pistions. The Edelbrock heads raised the compression ratio some as they have 54cc chambers.

Ok now I wish I had painted mine that snazzy turqoise color instead of red..Spiffy looking , Almost too spiffy lookin to get dirty..Almost!!
