Aha, it worked. Ain't she purdy?? A few details.
I used the Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and deep port matched dual plane Edelbrock Performer RPM intake from Hughes Engines. They CNC ported them and got some amazing flow numbers. The cherry on top is a Quick Fuel 950 Double Pumper. Inside we have an Eagle rotating assembly. Final CID is 505 with 10.4 CR. Had to get a new set of TTI headers; the ones from my 383 won't work.
She's going to be bolted to a brand new Tremec TKO 600 5 speed which will be bolted to a new Strange Engineering S60 rear and axle assembly with a Tru-Trac 3.54 posi-traction differential.
Once Humpty Dumpty is put back together again, it's off to the chasis dyno for some carb and other tuning. We're pretty hopeful for 550+ HP and TQ numbers.
I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks, John.
