M.G.
The guy who built my engine is an old drag racer/ DANA machinist who actually holds 3 IHRA records and was an IHRA Champion running small block Chevys. And I mean small (231 cu.in.) He calls his 350 engine a big block. Anyway, it runs like a banshee even with 3.73:1 gears. He got a little disappointed in me when I put the smog and the Gardner exhaust on the car. He wanted me to install headers, add some gear, and bring it out to Bunker Hill for test and tune. I may still get there but it's going to have to run through the mufflers.
By the way, his name is Tom Sroufe and he's a great guy who is retired now working out of his shop at home. He's currently building my 1966 427/425 HP engine for my Corvette. I can't wait to get that beast running! If anybody's interested in contacting Tom, drop me a line and I'll send you his number.
