I hope I'm not just speculating in saying that Todd is a definite asset to Holley/Hooker. As I said, I think one reason is that he is on these forums to stay in touch with end users, making sure the goods are indeed good! lol If/when I ever do a swap project, Holley/Hooker parts WILL be specified, because I know they WORK.
l appreciate the compliment and confidence you’ve expressed in the development methods being used at Holley to produce Hooker Blackheart products.
Was the frame knotched in order to fit the ac compressor down low and what frame mounts and engine stands were Used? Im working on a 70 cutlass convertible and i have a 6.0 lq9 with lsa blower and looking to use accessory drive kit mounting the ac low if possible.
Beautiful car you have there. Thank you for the build thread. The 1970 Goat is one of my top three favorite cars of that era. Any plans to attend LS Fest with it?
The GTO finally made a trip to GEN3 Performance for some dyno tuning in preparation of LS Fest and the small cam 416 did not disappoint. When I decided to build this engine I was determined to have the right balance between power and drive ability I was not chasing a dyno #. I entrusted Scott Culbert owner of GEN3 to spec the engine and handle the tuning. TSP 416, TSP ported/milled LS3 heads, TSP 227/243 115 629 lobes, LS3 intake, 1-7/8 long tubes, T56 6 speed and 9” Ford.
Here are the numbers on a 100+ degree day at GEN3,
515RWHP/513RWTQ. The car has excellent road manners and the midrange power is sick!
Here is the Dyno sheet I was really happy with the torque curve-400 @ 2500, 450 @3500, 500 @ 5000. It only going to get better as the engine get some miles on it and the weather cools down.
