My 496 project, the dyno results are in

Chris;

Thanks. I'll be adding quite a bit more info on my website on the Chevelle build as soon as I get caught up on my carb work and have some time to work on the Chevelle again. I have the new oil pan in now, but I haven't even had time to install it yet. As soon as that's wrapped up, the engine & trans go in. The dash & wiring will be next on the "to do" list.

Jeff;

Thanks. I've only scratched the surface on this build in regards to what these factory parts are capable of. There's still significant power left waiting on the table, but we'll get to some of that when the project enters the 2nd phase of its build. Along those lines, I'm not taking this build to the "extremes" as I've done in the past; this is all about showcasing how well these factory parts can work with only minor modifications when the overall combination is dialed in.

Very nice write-up, Eric. Interesting that "Ohio George" did the dyno runs. His shop did a rebuild on my 69 COPO Camaro's motor back in 1977 and they are still at 716 Brantly Ave in Dayton, OH !

Eric, Thanks for the updates. I have been considering a 496 and your right up is the best I have seen. I be right here on the edge of my seat waiting for more.
