re: betsys big block returning
What kind of headers are those? Im planning on dropping a 468 into my 88 camaro and I still need headers, but those look like a set my buddy wants a hundred bucks for ?

Re: betsys big block returning
Yup, I read booboosean's threads a couple times.
Congrats on getting her on the road!!
Our Bigblock has been on a stand for about 5 yrs!! : (
Need cam, rings & all bearings. It's a 460 (454 + .030)
.250 dome hyperutechtich pistons, had '69 closed chamber 112cc heads.
It will get 119s that were ported, polished, & gasket matched, & new intake.
Haven't decided a cam package yet.
Just no time to do anything!!! I got 2 days seat time this year!! Booooo

Re: betsys big block returning
Lol!!
I was amazed how many 'stangs & S10s with383s & Hemi trucks wanted to go country roading!! I'm sure you know what that's like!!
Since ours will be a street driver, I am thinking of using 8100 truck exhaust manifolds. I saw the Ed Quay headers about an hour AFTER they sold!!..
Looking forward for more updates!!!..
