      I built a NHRA legal K/SA 305 that made almost 400hp 30yrs ago. Ran high 11s in a 81 Malibu wagon. This one should make a few more. I'm looking to run mid 10s with this unit in a 2600lb G-body. I've built over 500+ SBC engines.

      I'm old and retired, but I've spent the last 40+yrs building engines. Have a few rowdy bigblock Chevys too, and Oldsmobiles & Pontiacs. Have 1 Ford in the fleet, it has a built turbocharged 2.3 in it, T5 from a T-bird, 4-10 gear 8.8 rear with a Detroit Locker. Pretty fun little truck. Been parked 5yrs tho. Wanted to do something different. Eventually it's gonna get a monster 351 Cleveland swapped in it with a turbo.

    Sounds nasty af! Sounds like at least a 600 lift roller? You should get your stomach checked out! Ive had stomach problems for years and found out i had a bleeding ulcer they went down my throat and stapled it shut,2 different time! It was painless,and saved my life!!👍👍

      I definitely need to check that out. Something going on for sure. Been hurting like hell. Yep the SBC has a 595/595 lift Lunati roller. Good Street/Strip cam. Mid 250s @.050, 108 lobe sep. Brodix heads & intake. 10.9-1 compression. Pump gas unit.

      @@thereluctantgearhead4544 yes, I love spicy foods! But I laid off it the second time! Wasn't easy. And smoking cigarettes is a big contributor?!! Man of all the bad habits I've had through the years, it's the fucking cigarettes that are the worst!! I tell kids that ask me to buy them smokes at the corner station, look let me tell you something, cigarettes are so bad that the second hand smoke kills people! Of course I would never buy them for them. But yeah buddy, go in and tell her your having stomach pains and they'll check you out! I swear they put you under and when you wake up, it takes a while to get back to full throttle. But when I was sick, I wasn't even quarter throttle!! 👍👍
