H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit. - Page 149

Sleep is sooo overrated! Another one in the books today with another to follow tomorrow. Autumn and her sister went to the engine shop today and loaded our parts left behind, cleaned tools and the dyno room. I had a couple things to get going on the motorhome then we worked in and on the bellhousing, fortunately it looks as if the linkage will work, hopefully we'll test that theory tomorrow. Painting is highly overated and super time consuming.

I don't know your buddy but I I'm sure there are others here who would like to see those results too. Some of them have been offering you help for two years and 100 pages.
So, do whatever you feel is right here..I guess you already have.

Here's one who posted his. No secrets here.

I don't know what it should be or what to expect for this combo but it made 390.

Good Luck and have fun

It sure would be nice to see the flow test followed by the dyno data. Very curious to look at at the oil pressure graph as well. For me its always nice to have some idea of the power different combinations make. I look forward to the track testing. Your daughter is no quitter.

Todd and Autumn: thumbs up to you two and your entire family for the dedication and hard work.

I don't even have a dyno sheet, there's nothing really here to make any extrordinary power, no scraper, no windage tray, lots of oil pressure. It runs, it's not complicated and there's room to grow. We'll go to the track and have some fun then we'll start building upon what we have or start a new one and spend some real dyno time with it.

390HP if the car works right should put you comfortably under the index for H I or J.
