No numbers..only a guess maybe..427 11:1 open chamber, 600 lift solid roller, 800 DBL pumper, 2 inch Hooker super comps..450hp?? anyone care to guess?.motor will go to 7200 .desktop dyno maybe?? it will be a whole lot of fun I am sure https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: project update
 

Everything looks great Albert! BB is the color! I bet that motor will sound real stout!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: project update
 

Should be an easy 500 horsepower...is the compression at a true 11 to 1 with the open chamber heads..???

Great looking car..nice job!!

Re: project update
 

-----I agree, Bruce. B/B is an unreal color.We are just days away from shooting my 26,000 mile 69 G/P S/J this same color (only a name change). Painter had the edges cut in yesterday and it looks bitchin. Cant wait to put it back together. Probably showing my age but this 428 G/P really appeals to me. Ill be getting you a members ride once its together for sure.........Bill S

Re: project update
 

Merging a freshly painted body with a finished frame is almost as exciting as starting up the engine for the very first time. Great Job!
