266/274 I/E duration advertised, 216/224 @.050, 112LSA.  Pretty much a low grunt cam.  Has .544/.556 I/E lift.  After riding in Terry's 65 with AOD and 2500 stall converter, I am also going to a similar converter.  With the new 165 AFRs it ought to run okay.  Probably not good enough to get it upsidedown in a ditch, butt (TS&T), okay.

Push rods are done, ended up buying ready-mades...long story, I'll save it for the Bash.  Just have to spend about an hour intalling them and adj. the valves, and installing the manifold.    Been workng on lots of other stuff.

Found a set of 17" Cragars (Jean has to have her chrome Cragars) that clear the 05 GT brakes.  Will be testing them for fender clearance today and getting some tars ordered.

New AC system fits like it was made for the car...Oh yeah, it was.  Doesn't seem to be any end to the custom stuff that needs to be created to put this thing back together.

It might be at the bash but we will fer shur.

See ya soon Mike,

BB, I like your choices in parts,good street cam, good vacuum, gunna sound nice,could top 6,000 with a 750 , good stall speed converter will really partner up with the 112 LSA off the line.  No over kill any where ....jj

Thanks for the encouragement, Joe.  I've  always leaned toward lowend performance as that's where you use it most and also that's what makes the best economy.  Also, I've never really warmed up a V8...always messed with lesser machines...B block Fords, VWs, that sort of thing. 

Learned a long time ago that short timing and high lift, along with smaller than max valves/ports and good compression makes  for a  good street engine.  Been following the diss-cussin' re:  Cleaveland vs Windsor 351.  Some guys think that if they wish it hard enough, they can change physics...ain't happening.  I had the good fortune years ago to spend a little time talking to a guy named Ed Winfield (every Indy winnner from 1926 to 1947 had Ed's carburetors) and he explained a lot about port flow and fuel separation and the plain old inertia of the fuel/air mixture.  Drive-through ports (as they relate to displacement) don't get it for lowend performance and no amount of wishing ain't gonna  make it so. 

Thanks again,

BB

So my suggestion of a tunnel ram intake with twin 660 Holleys would NOT fit into your plan,I take it?!!

Nope...but I may go to a bigger MAF and TB eventually.
