Just rambling....

Specifics are a bit fuzzy. Worked in a shop years ago, more or less did just production style rebuilds. Guy came in wanting us to build a clone of a Cheby LS7.....but on a grander scale. I remember we used a tall deck block, a set of Dart Iron heads and a flat tappet hydraulic cam. Was dynoed on pump gas but when it went into his race car he used race fuel. Had a very mild idle to it. Made enough power to put a 67 Nova into the low low 11-high 10 range. It ran like a clock, don't even think he took the valve covers off until they started to leak. We built another one that went into a friends Malibu that was strictly a street car. The thing was an absolute blast to drive. Had a tight convertor and low 3 gears. 45-50 mph roll on's were beyond entertaining....
