113 LSA
.390/.390 lobe lift
Net lift is .663/.663 with the 1.7 shaft rockers

Also added to my order the stainless headers that I had not realized he test fit in a 68 Camaro with a rack and pinion. That should work out I hope. :thumbsup:


I didn't know they sold these at Bed Bath and Beyond :lol:

Is that a flexplate? Was he going to run an auto behind that? Big stall converter in that bad boy. I like the tri Ys.

Don't make me give you the full specs on my 2600psi pressure washer. :lol:

Yeah he told me he was gonna run this motor in a tri 5 but later when I asked about the headers said he test fit them in a 68 Camaro... and he didn't know yet I had a 68.

Those stainless Sb2 tri Y's are all over ebay as you know for 300-600+ bucks, but knowing this fit was worth the $500 extra I figured.

Nice score. :cool: Are you ever going to get that subframe home and start test fiting this stuff?

I wish I could score a set of stainless headers for that price. My headers will be a little harder to find second hand. :rofl: :rofl:

:cheers:

Subframe is in our possession now. :woot:

Working with Jake on exchanging & upgrading some parts as this particular kit is a couple years old and he has made some enhancements since then. But those are top secret of course. :D

But what do you build if you can drive? I know... a faster 68 Camaro. :lol:

Hell, I may very well be slower in this new rendition. But probably not. :D
