Not sure what manifold you are using but that combo is good I have used similar in the past with the spacer.
A Eddie with a 12 mm spacer and a 2" air cleaner will clear a standard hood, or go with a weiand open plan.
Solid roller in a street car mmm interesting we are going for some good hp.
I use solid flat tapped in my 383 an it's only a mid 550 lift with 239 at 50 thou and it runs good numbers.
What fuel pump brand is that you are using.

The old setup is a semi hi rise Weiand with a 2"/2.5" air cleaner with a drop down base and a big block bonnet. That just makes it under.
This one is a Weiand Air Strike and I have a L88 style bonnet so not sure what cleaner to use untill I get it in the car. I haven't explored the cold air box scenario yet.
The cam isn't very high in lift has 113 LSA, the spring pressure on the valves is not excessive but i am using 1.6 rockers. They call it a street roller!!! I had the cam lying around which is why I used it.

The fuel pump is a holley mechanical but i suspect the dyno guy will tell me to put a electric one on it. Heads are AFR eliminators.
I'm having some valve train geometry issues so Dyno may not happen this Wed. Had to forgo my 1.5 alloy rockers because they did not clear the head studs for some narrower pieces. That is the reason I took the opportunity to go with the 1.6 ratio rockers.

metalhead:
Nice! Sounds like it will be a tough engine.

Had a few problems mainly a crook oil filter which put us behind today. :banghead: I purchased the Repco oil filter reluctantly because the Ryco was out of stock. It was like I knew it was going to give me trouble. :grr: :grr: :grr:
These nos are after the 3rd pull with only adding advance to the timing at 2* at a time.

I should be happy with that :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

rosco:
Very good numbers from a street car got to be very happy with that.
Forgot to ask what's the rear gears you running this could be real fun.

MY081:
Are you planning on getting it dynoed in the car , it would be very interesting to see what it comes out at the wheels .Ray
