I have no idea what to expect from this build the intake sucks and so does the exhaust. I am just going to try to keep it as light as I can and it is what it is

LOL Anyways why don't you build the motor, dyno it, then send the intake and exhaust out to get extrude honed, re-dyno and let us know the increase on your dime!!! I'll be watching........ I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

Accurate used to make a manifold that takes the bend out of the bottom by using a B or C Body manifold. Here are a couple of pics of a real 68 GSS. 7086306-IM000344.JPG (138 downloads) Last edited by Rhinodart; 02/23/12 12:23 PM.

Grand Spaulding took delivery of complete cars. Mr.Norm only monkeied with the emblems. These cars are the rarest of all the "M codes" Last edited by scatpacktom; 02/23/12 04:30 PM.
