I built a 292, crower stage 3 hydraulic 262/480/490lift, bigger valves 1.94/1.60, edelbrock 500, harland sharp rockers, lumps, ported/polished, mallory distributor, I used LP pistons shaved the block&head for a true 9:5/1 comp ratio, took the head to 70cc's, langdon exhaust flanges and clifford intake, balanced all, with a saginaw 4 spd and posi rear 3:23 gear, let me tell you that motor "GOES" i have it in my 1953 chevy 3100, now mind you I could of built a super small block for what I have into it, but everybody has small blocks, you have to pay to be different!!forget the virtual just build it!!
