502 TriPower
Today I finished the cosmetic issues with my engine.
Im sure you guys will like the pics.
Its a zz502 crate with a Demon Sixshooter on it.
With many original (looking) parts I made it look like a original L68.
All mordern looking parts were replaced by old looking stuff. Like brass fittings etc.
This is how i want to keep the engine, no more ideas for improvements. Seems to get boring now

That engine looks REALLY NICE!! 
Do you have the stock bigblock hood or an L88 hood or..?
Have you had the engine in the dyno? -HP:s?

Thanks to all 
About the questions:
The car has the L88 Hood since the 70´s and there is a bit less than 1" space to the air cleaner.
Was not on a Dyno yet. A stock 502 makes 502HP, Demon made advertisement when this carb was new on the market, that a stock zz502 would produce 30HP more with this carburetor.
Additional i have hooker sidepipes with the maxflow mufflers. Not too bad conditions for the engine i think.
But who knows if everything works good together? I am also running the original TI on it. I dont know how much power it really produces. Even if it has only 400HP its enough I think.
Because the engine has only 1800 miles on it, the highest rpm i drove it was 4000.
Then the hell comes to earth
The nose of the car rises to the sky, wheels are spinning and I dont feel save anymore in the car 
Ok, i wanted real power, think it was a bit to much now
Im curious what whill happen at 5500rpm where the engine has its maximum HP rating.
Postet this Video some months ago, just for the sound at part throttle:
(Back then, the engine was looking a bit different)
