BTR built 468

Got my car on the road finally.

BTR built 468, edelbrock heads
Edelbrock air gap
Holley carb
Eaton posi rear,3:55 gears
Aeromotive inside the tank electric fuel pump set up! Thing is awesome!
Rebuilt th400,custom tq converter
Custome made 3" exhaust
Hotchkis suspension
Ron Davis radiator with dual 16" electric Spal fans
Msd programable ignition

Guys this car is freakin unbelievable!
Don't even need to manual shift this thing it will totally shred the tires at a 35 mph roll! I'm talking both tires up in smoke 50 foot posi shot,car filled up with burnt rubber smoke and I had to let off cause I was getting sideways.

I have new 4 piston calipers and slotted and vented rotors that I need to install and I just orderd a vaccume pump to help as well.

I also want to upgrade the rear end to either a 12 bolt or 8.5 10 bolt I don't think the 8.2 that's in it now will last especially if I put on some street slicks.
When I upgrade the rear end I'll do a rear disk brake swap

Gotta say anyone who is thinking of going to an electric fuel pump set up should take a look at that aeromotive stealth in the tank set up,it's sweet!

Thanks

Got a part number? Do you need to run a regulator? Can you plumb the electric pump's output through the factory pump for that stock look?

Care to share your cam and compression ratio with us?

10:0 to 1 compression
Not sure of the cam spec but it is a roller

You do have to run a regulator,the pump output and return is right next to the sending unit.
I got it from summit aeromotive 18301

Didn't feel like diggin through a pile of receipts for the cam card.
The list of parts I mentioned I installed with the help of some buds.
Had the engine built

Anything else.......johnny!

Thanks,if you either contact aeromotive or visit the web site you can get a list and part numbers of everything you need for the install.

They recommended an-8 for both return and feed lines,even came with the sending unit.

Just a nice clean setup
