You also mentioned that the "390 Fords" were easily as good, but a while back "they couldn't out run a 327 Camaro in 1967". So which is it??
Confused in Texas....lol

RJ, my motor which is the 71-72 combination was rated at 330 in 71 and 255 in 72 and is now 315. Andrew's motor which is the 70 combination was factory rated at 360 and is now rated at 325. These two combinations are by far the highest rated old small block Chevys that anyone runs. My comments about the 390 pertained to 1967 and not today. We feel like we have good combinations but Andrew and I both have been out run heads up in the past year by a Pontiac and a Chrysler.
Merry Christmas to you and GO IRISH!!!!!
Oh, by the way, I can't believe a man of your advanced age is actually building a new car.
