Please help... Engine decision?

[PSV]

Mark Jones builds a great engine. He did a 468 for me in July and made 628 hp 612 ft lbs on pump gas 10:1 mild cam. I spent the day at his shop for the dyno day with Mr Harold Bettes and Mark and learned a lot. Great guy and makes big power without breaking the bank. We will be building a 555 to 582 next year and hope to make 800+ street friendly power and torque for the 67 camaro I got from David at Road Killer.

Here is a very nice article on Mark and his engines by Harold Bettes.

Well I finally made a decision and purchased a 454 with low hours and I am going to start with that to get my feet wet and go from there. It's nothing crazy but just enough to make me happy for the time being.

I will post some pics in a couple weeks once I get it.

Now i can purchase my TKO600 and finish up my floor inside the car.

Thank you for the link, looks like some great packages and prices.

I will still be building a final engine for the car so I still want feed back and info.

Nice work. How much power is the big block putting out?

I don't have any sheets or est. for it but I would guess it should be good for 400-450ish at most. Enough to have fun, It was a great deal so I could not pass it up. I pick it up in 2 weeks and I should have all the paper work on it so I will post all the goodies when I get it home.
