thanks to Rick from JE Pistons
he did a custom set of domed billets for me
tightened up the bore clearance on it and a little tricker gas porting
should love the added compression

It's got to be one of the, if not the baddest 1x4bbl 358" engines around.

Hi bob,
Where do you get the torque specs for the fasteners on these engines?
the nascar guys dont give out much info on them.

Cant wait to see it done and see how it likes the compression
Drago, I have almost all the torque specs, what do you need?

Bob, one and only shake down pass in Ky shifting at 6,600
leaving off idle an foot braking it went a 5.86 @ 114
convertor flashes 8,200 and make peak power over 9,000 should run a little faster on a all out pass
