I have a few questions since you are still in touch w/ Jerry Ault.
What size engine did they run in the 1970's?
Who built the engine and ported the heads and etc back then?
What kind of rpm did the Vette run through the traps and shift points and etc?
Thanks, RonP

Hi Ron,
Thanks for your questions, Jerry ran mostly 277 engines but occasionally went up to a 287. He built his own engines and Batten did his heads. He said he left at 8500 and shifted at 10,500, 11K thru the lights. This was with a Dana 60 and 6.50 gear and Doug Nash 5 speed.
Thanks,
Rex
