Another engine shot..

Engine has a stock rebuild with a Hughes Cam HEH2328BL (.506/.523 lift) and (223/228 duration)
1.5 rocker ratio.
9.3:1 compression

It currently has a 4bbl manifold on the engine. It will be changed to a six-pack setup after the engine and car have been run for a little while. I'm also waiting for the Edelbrock 6-pak aluminum manifold to come off of back-order.
I have a factory cast-iron 6-pak manifold but decided not to use it due to the weight factor.

Another transmission shot..

The trans is a "stage1" (mild performance) rebuild by Jasper Engines & Transmissions. Two year warranty.
