Curious why you didn't go for the extra $1,500 for 400 cfm LS7 heads, an extra 40-50 cfm would do wonders. But I guess than you'd need a better flowing intake to go with them.

Its gonna be NICE either way.

I'm with ya, I haven't picked a cam, heads or intake for sure yet and I already see it being a $15,000 engine, including a new set of headers. My Grots are too small. Tranny (4L80E) is $4,000. The rest of the car is all set.

I gave up, I'll let my builder choose it.

Head, intake and cam, a nightmare to choose. I'll be at my builders tomorrow getting into it again. I was hoping to order everything today with him but I can't make up my damn mind. Allan Futral said the Wilson won't work with the ETP CV heads and thats what I wanted to go with all along. Gotta find a new intake. It never ends man. Its like personal computers, so many different choices and 3 months later your **** is old news.



Oh, and I sure ain't the easiest to deal with, I want alot.

I was gonna get 1 7/8" stepped to 2", but these would be better for a 454ci.

I thought waiting for cash, for the most part, was what delayed people from doing their a builds, its actually getting into it and seeing all the different **** out there to go with. You make up your mind, and BAM!!! Another product.

Darryl Bassani aranged to have them built to his specifications. Bassani has been a supporter of mine for many years. They are one off made in the 69 Nova Chassis that we are planning on running. Because of logistics Darryl sent the parts to Mike Sasser who then built the headers to Bassani's specs.

I don't know the cost but I know it took several days.

Picture attached....
