Thanks!! The engine in the car now is nothing special a 454 with 67 427 closed chamber heads steel crank flat top pistons comp cams 305H, I have the 074 heads dated 73 and the Offy intake is dated 73 most everything form the other engine was dated 73 the block was junk so I scraped it, some day I was going to build a 73 set up to duplicate it but for now what's in it stays.

I gotta hear this. VERY similar to my grandfather's setup, except I don't know the heads and the pistons are domed. I'm assuming it's the .575 lift?

EDIT: I see you posted a video.
