Re: LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN A PLASTIC BAG
 

update-
Well we finally finished checking and measuring every thing and putting all the pieces together and run it yesterday morning for breakin and let it cool down and tighten all loose bolts and retorque the heads and intake and this morning ran it for about 20-25 minutes. Wow what music out of the 4" exhaust pipes on the dyno 12.3 -1 compression with VP race fuel at 36 degrees of timing. No hp numbers as we all agreed not to hang it's tounge out but to perhaps run it on the chassis dyno later on. Took me a while but now we are going to install this motor in my 69 camaro for some test and tune for the month of Sept. Might be a little tricky to keep this car straight as the BFG's will not be up for the job and I tend to be a little lead footed. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif--Did you run this just on a mechanical fuel pump, or was it back-up with an electric fuel pump-?

Re: LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN A PLASTIC BAG
 

No electric fuel pump JoeG just the Holley mechanical 110 gph pump on it's own. btw the carb is a Quick Fuel 950 cfm and the spark plugs looked great as well.Very crisp throttle response and it idles around 1000 rpm (not for long)but long enough to hear that ZL1 camshaft lumps. A whole different story once it's in the car with exhaust and in gear I'm sure.
