Getting hooked on the LT-5 build stuff, learning a lot

I'd buy the #702 block when the time comes.

NO, the 380ci is the best bang for the buck.

Lee Scored big time on the 368 pistons. If you dont have a pistons yet, and have to buy them new go for the 380 ci.

Just for shits and giggles I put injectors in IH and measured the ML volume...

Siamese: 235-240ml
Stock: 180-185ml

Thats 400ci size or bigger on a standard small block

and yes I measured 2 stock ports.....

Looks good but some seems to be a rather loosely used term..

Awesome project ya got thar Lee! Love that paint!

That beast is going to be interesting when it is all back together...Very interesting, indeed! Maybe we should start a RWHP pool and try to guess the RWHP numbers!? Justa thought!
