396 Build Up

[VintageMusclecar]

There was a fairly well-known poster over on the TC forums years ago who had an exceptionally well scienced-out `68 Chevelle with an oval port 468 in it. (I'm not going to mention any names, and for those who know whom I'm referring to, please follow suit)

The 468 used prepped oval port closed chamber heads, ~11-1 compression, several different roller cams along the way, an Edelbrock Perf. RPM and a ProSystems prepped Holley backed by a TH400 and a 4.10 gear. The car reportedly weighed in over 3800 lbs and regularly ran well into the low 10 second range with 60' times consistently in the 1.30's.

Again...lots of ways to skin a cat, but e.t. is in the short times.
