Interesting choice for the camshaft. It will purr like a kitten with those cubes. You might be interested in lifting the valves a little more down the road if the power is not quite there. The duration sounds good for the small runner and street use though. I run mine on the street, although it does not really purr with the 278/285 dur cam.... runs great on 94 octane pumpgas and 12.4:1 compression though.

Glad to see another sb2.2 street driven! And beautiful work I might add.

Awesome build. I'm from northern Idaho, I'll have to come check it out next time I'm in the Boise area.

Great car brother!! Love the motor combo--had the same set of heads on the drag car with a 434 sb. Of course, everyone thought it was a big block--believe me---only those in the know will understand what you've accomplished--and my hat is off to you for the combo. I am looking forward to seeing the front end on the car and what those stripes look like out in the sun. I'll bet it looks killer---great job!!

I've never heard of that type of heads. I though it was a big block until I read your post more carefully. Where can I get more info about those heads?

Awesome car! It looks great and I really like your engine choice too. Looking forward to seeing it all put together.

It's been a while since I've posted any updates as the car was in interior jail for three months. Here are a few pics of the finished interior and trunk. The last pic is of the smoothed chrome rear bumper. It came out real nice. There is a small chrome shop in the area that is trying to make a name for themselves. They have low overhead and as a result have some great pricing.
