want to change rear ratio from 3:70 to 4:10 and go with a 2800 stall converter. Can anybody run me some numbers on it and give me an idea on just what kind of horses I may have???

Good job on the rebuild!

sorry I can't help you with calculating hp but you might want to get a bigger air cleaner....

Default engine rebuild

nice job with the rebuild. i completed a complete rebuild last summer. when it came to engine block color, i was threatened with bodily harm if i had it painted blue. hence, it's now chevy orange.

I agree with the bigger air cleaner. Have you fired it up yet? How does it run?

Looking really good. I always love the 'pile-o-parts' picture, especially speed parts! Those Edelbrock valve covers are cool, eh? I have a set on my Nova. I think they look awesome.

fired it up and it runs like a bat out of hell. When my brother comes home from Pittsburg, we will try to go with some kind of induction and change the converter. Thanks for the good comments.
