Excellent. Thanks Sam. I think it's common to do, I just never have done it before.

Nothin' like a freshly painted BBC! What kind of numbers are you looking for?

I couldn't agree more. I even spent some time grinding casting flash off and smoothing this and that. I wasn't in a hurry... A little cleaning, some Seymour EN48 and a propane torch and whalla. We have a nice Chevy orange big block.
I ran my specs through a desktop dyno and came up with this. If I'm anywhere near it, I'll be happy. She's not a race car. Usually....
