The only cars I have owned have been 3rd gen Camaros (still have my first 1, a 91 Z28 I bought in 97) and Corvettes.

Between the cars Dad had when I was growing up and the cars I've owned, combined we have had 5 camaros (3 3rd gen and 2 4th gen), an 89 ws6 trans am, and 2 c5 vettes one was regular coupe and 1 Z06. I guess you can say we are certified gm car guys lol

And neither one of us has ever owned a truck that wasnt gm

That's a really nice looking build man. I like those headers too. What are you thinking it will make and what's it going in?

Its should clear 700 and its going in my 66 roadster. Its a decent size cam with 12.8 compression. Headers are stainless works. Just waiting on pushrods and an oil pickup tube.

Cool, that beast should definitely get it moving! You running gas or alcohol? What pistons did you use (trying to figure what to go with for compression I want)?
