Hey hotroddin, remember wayyyy back a year or so ago when I was still building this engine and you wanted to know how it turned out?
Well...you read it...13.4's out of the box with pretty much no tune.
It will do much better when I get the parts it wants.
Hey, it's the first engine I ever built and it seems to be a pretty good one that just needs fine tuned.
BTW, the guy that ported my heads is a very good guy and would recommend him to anyone.
When I was getting parts around for my engine I asked people who to go to for machine work and head work and they all said either this guy or a speed shop that was in the next town.
I'm going to get an advance kit for the dizzy and find out what exactly my total timing is and when it comes in.
I'll keep you posted
