Sounds like a very nice engine....but I gotta ask, why is he sticking with the iron heads???? We're running about the same cam in the T-Bird, without digging for the card I think it's like a 635/242. Makes a ton of mid range, torque line on the chassis dyno peaks at a shade over 500. Seems the bigger engines react well to the 110 lsa, first one I've tried and the torque increase was a big surprise!!!!! When I win the lottery I'll just drop ship that 800" block and the hemi heads to ya Pat!!!!!!

well you should know me ? it was a 429 crank was junk it needed a bore and rods were junk to so,this guy just got the truck and wanted more grunt so i talk him in to this it was not to hard but he has limit on funs so the heads should work it going in a 4 wheel drive truck with like 38 tall tires,i would of like to pull it in to 108 on the cam but the CR is set up for super pump gas so it could be down on hp but i hope it will just kill all the bbc in sight
