I built this for a member here, but due to bad circumstances, he had to sell. It was sold to a guy local to me, so I helped get it running and broken in. It's in a 67 Cuda notch. I think it sounds pretty good. Sorry if you don't have Facebook.

 
It wont embed, but click on "watch on Facebook" and it will open.

Would be nice to have video hosting here @Joeychgo
 
It turned out good. Compression is at 10.2, LOL. But he wanted that in a motor and he sure has it.
The cam is an old school Erson .470, 228 @ .050 on a 108.
 
That does sound good. Curious to more details on the build and the cost if you are willing.

Now that I do not know for sure. The member I built it for had all the receipts and passed them over to the new owner.

I would be glad to share the details of the build though, since I did put it together.

It's "just" a .030 over 360, I used the Sealed Power hyper pistons, since they require no special file fit rings. Stock resized rods and ARP bolts. Had the block zero deck height. Heads were milled to achieve 67ccs. Total static compression ratio ended up at 10.2:1. Stock 1.88 and 1.60 valve sizes with a basic three angle valve job. No port work. High volume oil pump and hardened intermediate shaft. It holds 40 PSI hot at idle and immediately slings to above 80 when the throttle is blipped.

I modded a set of stock 273 rockers to accept the Crane adjusters. Air gap intake and right now a Carter 625. It will have a Holley 670 street Avenger soon. Still running his point type distributor, because I wanted to break it in with a known good ignition system. And of course, the Erson cam described above. Cloyes true roller chain with a Mopar chain tensioner. I used the Comp 901 springs, so no machine work on the heads.

I think I remember him saying he had a tick over 5K in parts and machine work in the build......but he started out with nothing, so all the little stuff added up. But that includes everything such as carburetor and all, so it's about right.

Old school simple but effective.
 
I couldn’t get a good look at what was in the Alt. spot. Does it have a GM 1 wire set up there?

Yes. I don't know which exact alternator it is. He sprang for a NICE billet serpentine setup from billet specialties. At first, I thought it was sorta a waste, but it comes with everything. ALL accessories, plus all bolts and hardware. Even the reverse rotation water pump. It's pretty nice.
 
What oils are you using for break in?

I used Lucas 10/30 hot rod oil, which has 2400 PPM of zinc, plus a bottle of STP oil treatment. I mixed it up in a 5 gallon bucket before I dumped it in. Kinda stupid proof. lol
 
I thought I heard wrist pin knock or maybe a rod. ha ha ha nah it sounds nice and crisp. I like the use of the old school Erson and 10.2 compression . very nice street combo !
 
You are doing some nice stuff there!
