I know the idea behind it, but was there any reason specifically that you chose to run one?

My build is similar on a smaller scale (lower cubes/comp) but ill be DDing mine; just wanna be sure this is another 'big motor' thing (which it seems to be)

You should make it if everything works together. We did 656/620 on my mild L92 headed 427 FAST 102 setup with a smaller cam than you're running.

Good luck. Post 'em up.

Well after I drop the motor off at the engine shop, the shop calls me at three and tells me the dyno will be down for a few weeks..... They had a blown big block the granaded on the dyno....

So I picked up the motor and decided to just install it in the car
Don't feel like waiting any longer to get this thing up and running

Will post a video of the car running later this week
The motor is in the car, but need a shorted set of push rods.... Working on that today.....

Subscribing!
Great choice using Pete for your heads and cam! Can't go wrong there!
Good to see he's doing the rectangle port stuff.
I'm gonna make a wild-*** guess and say you are going to see close to 600rwhp on a dynojet.
