How soon do you expect to be on the track and report your "Dyno" numbers ! Any pre-Dyno numbers on the HP ?

I am very interested to see some pictures of what you have done. From your description, it sounds like you used the Wegner/GM front distributor drive cover, right? I am thinking about the same thing and would like to know where you got your accessory drive stuff and balancer. So far, all I have found is an ATI dampner, but not pulleys. I've got a 67 Nova that I want to put an LS# utilizing the stock front clip. I also want to go 'old school' and use a distributor just to be different.
