Jake, not to steal the thread, but what did you do with your old Opti? Can I get it from you?

I don't have a s[are Opti. The one that was on my 350 when I did the engine swap was left on that engine. When I sold the engine, the Opti went with it. See, I didn't want to canabalize the 350 for parts to use on the 388.

As far as the heads and cam swap I'm about to being on my son't 96 LT1 Vette, we haven't started that project yet. I'm waiting until he's re-assigned from West Point to Ft. Hood for the summer. Then he'll drive up from the Austin area to Lancaster on his days off and we'll attack the project.

Sorry I couldn't help you out.

BTW, the new CompCams HR was delivered by FedEx this morning. So I now have the Dart Pro1 heads and the cam. Rockers, pushrods, timing chain set and gaskets are next.

Jake

West Point ROCKS!

Thanks anyways Jake. Whenever I can find an old used up Opti, 95-97 I will take it. I only need the mitsubishi optical sensor inside.
