Couple new pix...
...Just wanted to share my excitement! Spent most of today getting the car and the HEART OF THE BEAST cleaned up and detailed, and the various new parts organized. All buttoned up and ready to drop her in. Got some minor gasket and IH port matching to do, but it is all down hill from here!
This pic is a little different, and it shows off Lee's emblem quite nicely. Next w/e my bro is coming to visit. So, I don't know what I'll be able to accomplish then. Gonna try to get what I can done afte work, I guess. But, anyway...this project is very close to "show time", and about time too! P.

Re: Couple new pix...
Not stroked. It is a stock bottom end, but top end is fully ported with Lingenfelter-type chambers, and relieved intakes, and minor exhaust cleanup and radius work around the exits, stock cams and special cam timing (known only to Pete and Bob G).
Success is where you find it, so I attempted to stay close to dimensions modeled after Pete's heads. Getting to those specs is tricky, and wandering off "the line" just a little bit will quickly get ya into water or oil, depending on which way your error. Then the fun begin$! I attempted to model the upgrade according to those producing around 500 FWHP. I'd like to see 425 at the rear wheels, but with some careful tuning on a dyno, it could potentially be north of that. Just have to see what happens next! P.
