Sorry 4 the delay...As 4 my engine it's a 463 c.i.,iron heads,XE268 comp cam set up with a c.r. about 10 to 1...I'm also going to change my gears from 3:08 to 3:70...It's mostly a street car...I'm not to concerned about top end it's the torque that I want so I can create that nasty launch...I would love to upgrade my cam if I can scrounge the extra bucks so any advice there would also be appreciated....Thanx...Jerrylee///
