Finally got it today. (actually showed up on Friday but I was out of town).

Intake centerline is 106.

Events are
IO: 12
IC: 44
TDC Overlap: 19
EC: 7

Time to track down a degree kit...

Now that I've had to pull the heads, clay will be used for sure.

I'll check and see if I have a clip or two, but not sure if I do anymore. Well with the PRC 5.3 heads on my LQ9, I had to have the pistons notched for it to fit

my build consists of this cam on a 106 ICL, 4.10 gears and a 4,500 converter behind a trans brake 65e

my build is different than most, but i had to cut the intake side. i am running TFS 225 heads milled to 59cc so it's definately tighter than a typical stock head stock valve size combo.

i think a lq9 with stock 317 heads may clear with stock gaskets. like i said, my tfs heads are milled, i run a different valve degree and i think my intake valve is somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.055. measure to be sure, but i think you would be fine. if you guys are interested i can dig into my notes to see how much i had to cut off of the intake side. i THINK i cut .090 to achieve .070 intake clearance.

vids of it running (open long tubes). sorry no driving vids, no track times...according to zane, my build will never be finished.

Thanks! It made 420 n/a, and 500 N20 on a Mustang dyno with a brand new engine. Should be around 450-470 n/a on a Dynojet dyno, and the motor being broke in now. As far as the track goes I have no clue cause I haven't gone yet lol
