So, here's what I have done....flipped, flopped, supercharged or not..383 or not....yada yada yada....
Summit rebuild kit, flat top hypers, 60 over, already ordered.
Then this, Weiand tunnel ram, 2 600 holleys
This I now have.
Then.......
Block is getting zero decked.
Turns out my 1150$ ik200's are actually 1400$ when I called to order....so decided on the Dart shp 200's. They will get some porting and clean up.
Cam will be Lunati solid, 247/256, 525/540, 106lsa, 100icl, pn#30120521
Converter is still the 3000 stall (yes I know a 3500+ would be better.
Gears will be 486
Long tube headers, 3" exhaust, undecided on mufflers.
Compression should be 10.5, quench is 0.041
Bottom end is ordered already, intake and carbs I have, converter I have.
So that's it....opinions?...no fights, gladly listen....yes Gary, even you lol....truce.
Will be running no hood, checkerboard painted firewall, gold moroso valve covers, Mr gasket velocity stacks....even bright yellow accel wires! Ghetto 70's retro with 80's cheesy pro street.....I love it.

Opinions?

spoke to dave. Super nice guy,took all the time I wanted to chat about the product and my build.
$1050.00 seems like a steal if there as good as I'm hearing.

I spoke to profiler about that, among a couple guys on 1320 tech and was told repeatedly that the 195 "acts" alot bigger then what it is, I likely won't turn the motor more then 6800 and they all seem to think its a good match. I don't have any experience with them so I trusted it. They are small, but very busy, and don't have them sitting on a shelf ready to go. Just the casting, I call, tell them what I want, and they go from there. I also spoke to Chad speires and I can ship them there, spend 500$ for his "econo" port job if I think they heads are holding me back. Or even port them myself if need be. They use the same casting for their 210 heads so there's room to grow if need be.

Hope you'll do a video when you fire the engine up and post it here! I'd like to hear the sound of that cam/engine combo!
I'm putting together another tunnel rammed engine for my present project; a '63 Falcon gasser. Using a 454 with Weiand oval port tunnel to match up with the Edelbrock oval port heads, and twin 600 cfm Holleys. I put an 8.8" Ford in back with 3.73 posi, to make it more enjoyable on the street, but still make it run good at the strip. A Super T10 inbetween, just because I miss shifting a stick! :)

Slicks!? lol No room to carry them, even in my little trailer I pull behind my Willys. Old guy at the track told me one day, seen a lot of Willys on a trailer, never saw one pulling one! lol Running M/T street radials now. Maybe I'll get a car trailer and put some miles on my pick-up. lol Will take the fun outta drivin' to the track tho.
