Again this motor will be an exact replica of the 406 heres the specs

1969 Camaro 3375 lbs
355 sbc
isky hyd flat tappet 256/256 525/525 cam
750 carb on E85
3.73 gear
400 Turbo with coan brake and 5500 converter
Edelbrock Performer RPM Heads 202/160
Victor Jr. Intake
12:1
29.5x10.5W's


Thanks!

I think the 406 is going to be .20 faster. mainly because of the torque of the 406. Jim Hanig
