We did some testing on the flow bench and found that the 516s flowed equal or slightly better than the 915s. Remember you only get .424" lift so ginormous numbers aren't that important.

I've got enough problems without jumping into the Super Stock side of the pool but none the less I am intrigued by the GT classes. What about building a '77/'78 440? It comes with good heads and a huge carb...

Good luck. Run the '64--the world needs more ugly old Mopars!

Hey Chris, I am considering all the possibilities. The GT class is interesting, and I have a few of the late 440 motors layin' around. One is a motorhome motor with a huge 1000cfm thermobog that was runnin' like a mule when I tore it out of the house on wheels. Yea, I love the old ugly mopars, I have a few sittin' around, I have an even uglier 63 sedan.
Maybe, I'll just start buildin' them all. I can run the 64, my wife can run the 98 Dak R/T, and my daughter can run the ugly little Valiant. 'Preciate all the help everyone is giving...I am tending to lean to the Mopar guys..I just don't trust those Ford and Chevy guys.
