350 .030 over flat top 4 valve relief pistons, ported and bowl blended L98 heads, .510/.533 cam, victor intake, 750 mech. sec. holley, 1.6 roller rockers, etc. I am trying to get it done before friday the 13th. All I need now is a nitrous plate kit that goes to 200 shot. I have got a whole new rearend, I went from 2.77 to 3.27 gears, and I have got a 3200-3500 stall. I should turn some decent times if I spray. I just feel bad the turbo motors is not done.
