Not to hijack, but B3442W5 please tell us more about your combo. That et in your sig is impressive!!
It's an engine masters build.
10.44 compression. Ported magnum Rt heads. 950 carb, aforementioned hydraulic cam.
Diamond slugs, scat rods, trick lightened 340 crank. 30 over 318 for 323 cubes.
Cheapie 1/5 8 headers, 904, tight 8 inch converter, 28 inch radial with 4.10 gear. Shift it at 6200, traps about 6. Could use a little more gear but I drive it everywhere.
All steel car, 310 pound driver. Nice attention to detail on the short block build, several oiling mods, and rocker shaft upgrades.
But, she has a dinky cam and not much compression, think there is still more.
