The aluminum heads should also give some headroom in that area. The heat dissipation is so amazing that I was able to comfortably touch the steel valve covers almost immediately after shutting the engine off after our testing.

Where I live, I don't even have to get my cars inspected! My distributor is a weird thing. The 1974 Corvette was the last year with a mechanical tach, and also the last year for the points ignition. So, I was able to find an HEI distributor with a mechanical tach drive, and that is what I am using now. I'll probably go with an MSD later when my wallet recovers.

ROTFLMAO I can definitely say to anyone thinking of buying an old car, whatever you THINK you are going to invest in it, triple it.

I've heard that the trade-off with those is that on a wet road your traction approaches zero. Any thoughts?

Yep, I've already put the 3.70s in. That was a lot of fun to do without a lift, trying to chest-press the pumpkin up into place. I also had my Turbo 400 rebuilt with a shift kit which will have to do for a while. Probably go with the Firestone Indy 500s when I wear out the current set. There just isn't a lot to choose from in that size.

Did two sets of runs, one with the vac sec and the other with a double pumper. The mech sec numbers are the ones I posted. I got more of an education that I ever wanted on how vacuum secondaries interfere with the dyno.

It was pretty melodious, I can tell you. Damn loud running with open headers, too, even though the exhaust was being piped out of the building.

Ja and we only ran it up to 5500 rpm. I suspect the peak hp is about 460 @ 6000 rpm.

Brodix IK200s...9.5:1 comp ratio.

You know I am not sure on that...the owner of the shop told me it was actually running a little rich during the testing, I suppose due to the Holley 850 test carb. It'll have a vacuum secondary 770 cfm Street Avenger on it when it goes in the car (which hopefully is happening even as I type this).

My new 383 was brought to life on the dyno yesterday!!! Getting ready to run... And the results...

I was recruited by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Zur and the Kodan Armada, so obviously my time here is limited. -
