Default A new beast is born.

At 10:50PM Matt basket and I fired up my new beast. Man it felt so good. Fired on the first try and idled for 15mins. Only problem we had was the coolant level sencer is shot. I was seeing 60PSI of oil presure at idle. Now all that has to be done is have the front end alined and let it idle for another 15-20mins and i can take it out for a nice sunday drive. Man that motor just swallowed up that 228 cam. I could not even tell it had a bigger than stock cam in it other that the sowing mechine under the hood. Time to build my turbo kit and make realy power.


Thank you to Matt Baskett for all of his hard work and helping me every stip of the way.

Justin.

I have not got a cam for the 370. I am still running my 228 that i had in my 346.

2.00/1.55 vavles is because the flow more than S2 heads with 2.02 1.60 vavles so i saw no need to have the heads rework for the bigger vavle.
