Kurt, Sam..I want to dyno it..just have to find the right guy here on the east coast..It should make some good numbers although I went small on the cam as I am running a T 56 trans/3 73 gear..so it needs to pull at lower RPM'sfor the highway rides..heres the cam card:

Albert, looking good. I will be asking more as I'm going a different route but about the same. My ZL-1 is using a 4&quot; stroke 476 inch deal with 074's and 198 intake. Mines going in a '69 Nova with a Richmond 5 speed. Would like to know what this dyno's when you get it done. did you happen to get that intake ported to the heads? I will be doing mine, as I'm going to be running a bit more cam and compression.

ALbert I have used AED in the past for carbs. They were the suppliers for Bill Mitchell crate motors and I had a problem with the fuel system. These guys were great to work with and I used them for a couple of other motors I put in other cars with no problems. I would give them all the information of the engine and car combination and they would build a carb to fit my needs always great service at a fair price. If you are interested e-mail at [email protected] and I will get you the contact info.
