1. The engine was built locally by Bradford Balance & Machine and it's based on the article Jim Moore (427 HotRod) wrote for Corvette Enthusiast a couple of years back.
2. I have not dyno'd the motor yet but it should easily be over 650 hp based on the tests that Jim wrote about.
3. I'm running a TKO 600 5 speed with a custom built 12-Bolt rear end and 3.73 gears.

Nobody......did you do any porting of the Holley tunnel ram? Any pics inside of it? We're doign a bunch of dyno testing right now on a 572 with a few single planes and a couple of tunnel rams...but I hadn't looked at Holley one.
What sort of RPM? Any dyno numbers with RPM?
Thanks,
JIM

Here's two from forum member, 632C2. I don't know how often Steve gets on this board so here's a pic of his insane 942 hp 632 bbc.
He and Jim are probably the premier bbc guys on this site (though I'm sure there's others).
