OK, now I understand your position. I guess it's going to come down to a choice of heads. Understand that I'm not particularly an FE guy, but after all, any motor out there is just an air pump and all of them will respond to pretty much the same treatment, air in , air out.

Dave Severson, FFR428 and some of the other FE guys need to jump in here and help if they will. I know the Edelbrock heads make pretty good power, but don't know about some of the other choices like Blue Thunder by A.T. Francis. There may be other heads I have never heard of.

Bottom line, I'll help dial in the static and dynamic compression ratio and run several cam choices through the DynoSim to try to get the motor dialed in once you select the components. As you said, you've followed the Jeff Perkins and Car Craft builds, so you know what kind of power can be generated with the Edelbrock stuff. I'd like to see if some of these other FE guys on the board could come up with alternate choices of parts.

What kind of fuel will be available?

Survival Motorsports is a dealer for Blue Thunder. I was looking on there and there are 3 choices for a small bore FE motor, Medium Riser small bore Quench, High Riser small bore Quench and Medium Riser OE Wedge. You might get in touch with them and find out what would be the best head for your application and what the flow figures are.

Also ask about intake manifolds to match up to the heads......what to use????.....
