My friend had a 367ci 4.020 bore 3.62 stroke with stock rods, ross pistons, locally ported heads, MTI R1 cam, moser 12 bolt with 4.10's and a t56. Through dual cut outs and no dyno tricks with 11.5 compression it made 455hp and 429 lbft. The car did not sound like a sleeper even with full exhaust, but shows that it can be done.

That sounds like a pretty stout setup. What happened to his setup?

Albert, Which grind would you recomend? Who makes this reverse split pattern bump stick?
How is your new engine build coming along? I am sure the 6.0 block i sold you will make a good one. I have 2 more blocks that i picked up, I am going to keep one for my future 372ci. I have also picked up 2 sets of 6.0 heads. I am going to keep one set for myself. I am trying to sell some stuff to help pay for my daughters wedding next Saturday. Thanks for your input, please let me know about the cam. no big hurry. Thanks
John

He is going to an alluminum 383 with direct port to take off weight and run some better times. Looking for 10.0's to be exact.

JJz28- Thunder racing does a couple reverse split cams.

JJz28 - I happen to have a practically new TR 227/224 reverse split cam for sale.... If that winds up being one of your choices, let me know if you're interested. It would definitely be a candiate for your 6.0 build!
