I modeled the mods I chose after a lingenfelter buildup. Powerband from idle to about 5500rpm.
The car never saw the track in running trim. Day I took it to the track the oil pump started going. Had a couple crappy passes, then the oil pressure dropped to 0 on a pass, came right back up but the engine hit 270* at the end of the pass. A week later it was knocking. However, the guy I sold the long block to tells me it runs 12's all day long, running the same cam, and heads. He had it rebuilt, but other than a basic rebuild and a valve job nothing was done to it. Its sitting in a 71 nova. Not bad for a long block he paid $200 for.
Got a LT1 sitting in the car, but haven't finished up with it. Got just about everything except for some minor stuff. fuel lines, and a starter are all I really need. The harness is all labeled, I just need to give it power, ground, and solder about 7 wires. Leaving the LT1 stock for a while, just running the headers and a cat-back. Maybe a CAI to replace the stock filter setup. I have a Hot-cam, and another set of heads I will send out for port work when I'm ready to next year.
Have SFC's, LCA's, and a spherical rod end panhard bar for it as well.
