Default 396/Super Vic/Front End Conversion/Daily Driver

I know a couple of guys that have or are in the process of doing the single plane intake conversion. (Super Vic or Victor E)
As of right now this car will be a daily driver. So It is a hydraulic roller and stock computer. But when I get another vehicle I will drop a solid roller and look into a fast set-up.
here is my web page

Flow #'s are on the web page as well

I will post more info Later

Hey man LOOKING BAD Hope to get my AFR's and Super Vic back from Lloyd and Bret within a Month or so. Your Motor is looking to be a power house, How much did it cost to get everything converted over to work with the Lt1 setup. I love those Flow numbers man. Asudecat I can't remember but is yours a 6-speed, it really doesn't matter b/c this thing would do over 500RWHP in a A4 no problem. When are you going to have it installed??? I will post pics of my top end setup and car pics when I get my topend back. Keep us posted man, Later
BTW Tony was suppose to dyno his car yesterday, I can't wait to see what that thing did, lol

Looks nice bro! Hey........I did not know you went with a non-LT1 based head. I dont even see the holes for the head-to head coolant tube. So these are Dart SBC heads? Not a LT1 or LT4 based head?

Bizzzatch is correct they are Dart Pro1 230's converted. I am waiting very patiently for our shop to go up out here. The guy has been stalling for 4 months now and the cement has been sitting there. We need cover to do this project and the damn motor is sitting out there in 200 trashbags.
hopefully it will all be done around christmas.

I know it's been a while and all ... but ... any updates?

Looks like you got some pretty good flow numbers out of those castings.

I know he has had some electrical problems with the car among other things. Not sure where he is on it now though. I know he has been through hell and back with it.
