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.

That interior looks killer. I'm really digging it. Who did the interior for you?
Keep us posted.

I had Chip Knight of Fine Auto Trim here in Boise do the work. Chip's being doing interiors for longer than I can remember. Back in the 80's, Chip was working for Terry's Upholstery in Boise. Terry went all show car with a Chevy stepside pickup and went on the circuit. He won several shows and at the end of the year won best interior. The caveat to the story was that Chip was who actually sewed and did the interior, not Terry. He struck out on his own soon after that.
