Sport,

Thanks for the kind words.

the 517 has 11.8:1 (IIRC) and a Bullet 264/268@.050 Hydraulic roller, it revs safely to 6800-7000, it's the only motor I've ever needed the shift light for it gets there really quick, especially for a big block.

Going to 4.10's and an aluminum flywheel 4 speed (what the car originally came with).

Chip, I'm sure porting is all dependent on the type of manifold (ex: Tunnel ram vs a 1 4BBL) and the level of work involved.

Do you know Hollis at HP, Chip? If not I'd really suggest you meet him and Larry, I introduced Stephen Daurity to him back around the Holidays, Absolutely GREAT Mopar people to work with.

www.hpengines.net check out his Facebook page he's got some pics of Larry's work, I know they just finished a 5.0 Coyote motor and the heads looked AMAZING
