Steve, all the stuff is at the machine shop now....going to use a 69 396/350hp Nova block, steel crank, new rods, 11 to 1 compression...the 290's will get the bigger valves, some chamber and port work for better performance...looking at a couple different solid cams...leaning towards something a little tighter than the stock L78 cam with a little more lift....we will try 2 or 3 different intake manifolds, including the 163 and see the results on the dyno. Kind of an old school build with some upgrades....looking to make a some strong power...stay tuned.

Tom,
Perhaps you can post information on the flow numbers you get
with the oval port head modifications, assuming you bench
test them before the build. Also, who will be doing the
work on these oval port heads? I may want to use them as
well - especially if your build runs strong
