Vintage Coooool ****. One could still run this identical combo today and do quite well.

Yeah would've liked 12.5:1 for that cam and more Head as they were only around 265cfm, (didn't have Ally heads then apart from B1=$$$$$), but it seemed to work well, big duration kept the valves open....ticked over at 900 and pulled like a train top end....those heads got me .5 sec over stock 906's though.

here's some more vintage footage from the Pod......doing some 10.90 index racing, stock headed motor.

[Hot Metal]

No it was the old Comp Camps solid flat tappet, .650"-290dur@.50

 

[twayne24365]

Nice, im working on a similar build hoping for the same results, but your chassis is deffinately better than mine will be, but awesome car!

 

[Hot Metal]

Yeah, I bought my '69 all complete running with 440/727 for $4500 at todays rate, was a street car on springs. Had a fellow Racer back half the car at his garage, supply and fit l/bars, did all the Tin work, made the f/wells, I had the motor balanced, bought the inlet/cam/converter, 2.14 heads and had the box raced up, 4.88's, Strange spool 35sp shafts, 14x32's, coil overs, External oiling system etc. etc., in fact race ready for around $15000....that was in 1989.
