I'm an old six fan myself.
I think the magazine articles use to say to do the exhaust and cam first, and then the carburetion.
They may have been quoting Jack Clifford.
Mick53: What 5 speed are you going to use with that much hp?
Sorry I missed your question. I have a Tremec TKO 600 that has been built up for 900 ft lb torque by Hanlon Motorsports in PA. I picked the higher first gear because of the torque of the 292. I will also be mitigating The shock with a Biknell torque arm with triple biscuit on my Frankland QC and a carbon drive shaft. Frankland built the rear end for me. It's the shock that gets you. I also have a clutch instead of a button.
