Stock appearing, absolutely awesome running/ Great power with a very mild cam, and purrs like a kitten; will run on pump gas and works with all vacuum accessories..... very impressive on many levels... smallish cubic inches, and very affordable build out of budget/reliable parts.

Hey Mark, I have a friend who is deaf and wants to get in touch with you for a 496 build. Can you please PM me your email address, since he can't call you?

Mark, you are moving to Texas? Are you willing to post up any details here? I live in DFW now, and lived in Killeen for a few years also.

YES we are moving to Texas, we have a house in Georgetown, but I will tell you Horse Shoe Bay is looking very good to me! Any question you have I will happily answer.

Horseshoe Bay is just across the river from me. Gateway to the millionaires. One of my oldest customers co-founded the place back in '71.

What you get for the money is quite a bargain compared to what I'm use to in Ca, my wife is out in Tx right now, she will be in Horse Shoe Bay this weekend looking around. I'm stuck at the the shop, have about 17-20 jobs to finish before I can shut it down in Colorado, working night and day to get out of there-thats why theres been no smooth idle 427 drag test yet, but its coming, and then 16 year old son starts racing this summer as well.

Awesome numbers from a dead simple combo! Can't wait to see what my AFR 439 combo will actually put to the tires once I do the swap this winter.
