Engine looks killer! (Although I'd Powdercoat the valve covers black as the orange is a little out of place IMOP).
Looks like a nice combo.. I assume you are shooting for 500hp or so?
Should definitely put that Vette in the 11s..
Sub'd for progress... (I'll check back next year
)

Yes I did and thanks.
Had to run to work last night so was offline
What secures your pressure regulator or is it just held up by the line?

The regulator is mounted to the standard bracket that came with it.I modified the bracket to fit the threaded boss on the front of the victor jr.
The line is solid steel nicor line attached with an fittings.This way regulator is attached to engine for tuning ease (engine dyno).The nicor line will not rust and is much easier to bend than regular steel line but is pretty expensive.

I have 1 3/4 Hooker S/C headers. Some of the studs have so little clearance that I had to grind off the ARP nuts shoulders to get them on the flange.

I think you just inspired me to go mock up my OBX sidepipe headers on my engine while its on the stand... hopefully it will be going in the car next week and I want to avoid surprises if possible

I love pictures with mounted side pipes while engines are on the stand.
If you are aiming to maximum horsepower you should remove chrome from your intake.
Chrome looks good but doesn’t help to gain any power…
Actually it keeps the intake Hot.

I didn't really consider that, Ive talked to chris and comp both but that would be for another post. I figured I email you Geo when I got a little closer to that point. I figured 3.55 rear would work thought about 3.73 in the rear, but 3.73 time 3.06 puts ya 11.41 if you follow the thought on being as close as possible to 10. I don't know if I'll get the mp122 in this winter.
With an automatic in my vette I have 3.92 and 3.06 first ,, It handles it easily and makes the car jump out of the hole ..

In my case I'm going 3.73 to 1, not just first but 2nd and third as well. If i followed the 10 rule I'd pretty much be there with my 3.06 first gear and my 3.08s. I figure for auto crossing and some strip time I'd be better with the 3.73 my only cocerns with this were a) first gear winds up so fast already that with 3.73 or lower I might need to set up a governor set up to shift before I hit red line and b) traction. how do you like your 3.92s?

I have no traction issues , and I set governor to shift at 6500 .. I had 3.36 and 3.73 and now the 3.92 and i prefer the 3.92 over the others.
