Big blocks are new to me since ive only had a mild 9 sec 466 ford in a fox body..I can only do this once so id like to have the most intell as i can.Down here i have a house to pay for anddont make the money i did up top....Living in atlanta is harder for me than when i was in NY,NJ and philadelphia...I had guys from top shops up there to hang around and get advice and help...Down here im surrounded by ford guys...They go pretty damned fast(Tim lynchs shop does my machine work) but they dont know chevy...
O.K.,fair enough.The reason I doubted you was I own and operate a company that CNC'S cylinder heads.I would never touch the short turn radius ever un-less you have a flow-bench sitting right in front of you.Do a really good bowl blend and tear-drop the guide area and you are on the right track.
