Ken;

Thanks.

The engine will be going into my `67 Chevelle SS396 project, which is currently in limbo while I try to locate a rotisserie to borrow/rent.

Dave;

Thanks.

Compared to building engines and trying to get this car restoration completed, the carb restorations are the easy part! lol!

Eric

Wow, Great stuff Eric, already sent the build story to a couple of by Bud's.
I have to go back and read in again so it all sinks in. Thanks for your efforts in posting.

Eric,

Excellent write-up and presentation. My hat's off to you.

I think I've finally made my mind up about how to do that
proposed L-88 project. GAME?

Steve

Stop the presses!

The 496 dyno video has been rescued!!!

(long story, don't ask how/where it was hiding, you wouldn't believe me if I told you)

If you'd like to see the clip, click here. The link is at the bottom of the page.

(this was one of the early pulls before we got everything sorted out)

Eric

p.s.

I'll have another dyno video hosted on my website in the next day or so; I didn't have anything to do with this particular build, but the engine is so insanely cool I had to capture it on video. What is it?....well, I really don't wanna let the cat outt'a the bag just yet, but I will say that it'll knock your "SOHC"s off!

Old school ROCKS!!!!!
