Thanks for the link, as for the rpms, I was thinking about 5500 would be right.
I think you hit my problem on the head about planning how all the components work together. The biggest frustration I have with the 66 is that I dont really know where I'm starting/what I'm working with. One of the previous owners obviously had a plan, but I dont know what it was.
The car has an aftermarket cam, judging from the lope, and I have no idea what kind of heads (I think stock, but...). So I dont know what I'm starting with, and what they were in the process of building.
This is another reason that I want to build a motor from the ground up (351w for the cubes, naturally) so I can plan all the parts to work together. I would imagine that I would pay an equal amout to replace all the 289 parts with what I want/planned combos.Grrrr....
