Yeah, my wife isn't happy about playing with EFI. Only because she says it's against the "old school" character of my car. She liked it when it made 800 hp with points!!

Rods will be Olivers it looks like.

Only one Dominator...but at least 3 of them one at a time....unless you know of a dual setup we can play with??

It's only going to be a 555"...not a 565". I WAS going to go the full .100" over...but...oh well it's a long story with parts availability.

Now THAT's what I was looking for...someone to take all this old junk off my hands! I think TShort wants my old rod and main bearings!

I guess it was too early when I typed that, 565 is 4.6 bore.......:o

Oliver makes a damn nice rod, mine have seen 8000 rpms several times and so far so good.

Let me see if they have a 2x4 over at NS when can play with for a day. I know they have a BIG one for Chiefs, not sure about any conventional stuff.
