Steve, all the stuff is at the machine shop now....going to use a 69 396/350hp Nova block, steel crank, new rods, 11 to 1 compression...the 290's will get the bigger valves, some chamber and port work for better performance...looking at a couple different solid cams...leaning towards something a little tighter than the stock L78 cam with a little more lift....we will try 2 or 3 different intake manifolds, including the 163 and see the results on the dyno. Kind of an old school build with some upgrades....looking to make a some strong power...stay tuned.
