It's not currently in the car. I will post pics when I get it back in. Headers need to go in first and they are currently at the coater.

Would you mind sharing your cam specs/card and any pics or info you have for the heads(flow numbers, etc.)?
Compression? expected fuel you will run?
Converter info?
When and where do you plan to start doing some shakedown runs?
Thanks again for sharing your build; it truly does look magazine worthy.

"engine was built by Milan Obradovich"
Hold on..........thats a shocker, I would have thought you would have used the "Olds Expert" cutlas EFI, but then again after looking at the car build one would know better LOL.
1320/144 MPH = 9.16 @ 3250

Typically I build my own engines and also for a small group of customers but I couldn't pass up the opportunity on this one. It isn't every day that you get the chance to get your hands on an intake and a set of heads done by John Marcella. It's a proven performer and being built by Milan I know it was done with detail and no corners cut.
