Wilma: our Y-Camaro races in Pure Stock, so the major hard parts have to be from the factory...so it's the run of the mill 780/163/840/427 combo...nothing fancy on my part...but as I tell folks all the time, the Chevrolet engineers have a gabillion hours into each and every part, so who am I to second guess them? This combo just plain works, and on a skinny tire it works better than my LS6 did as it will RPM better on the big end due to the stroke and the reciprocating weight.

A nice supplement to the "How To Hot Rod BBCs" book are the books by Ed Staffel (Max Performance BBC's and BBC Hi-Perf Interchange)...they take what you learn in the "How to Hot Rod" book and take it to another level...from ignition curves to compression mapping camshafts....pretty good stuff.
