Welcome to the zoo sbcguy!

Glad to hear that you still have the spark! Don't worry about time gone by with new stuff showing up, seems to me that all that has changed is the price!

I'll bet you wished you still had that 410 though...782hp?!!??!!!

By the way, we love photos!!!

The old woman that resides with me doesn't like that I've decided to embark on this project but neither did the first wife.

Still have some of the parts and pieces that I can use for a new build like the Barns dry sump set up less the oil tank, the gear drive that the dry sump oil pump bolts to, the Moldex crankshaft, and the Jet connecting rods. Also have the old 292 casting "Bow Tie" angle plug cylinder heads but I'm researching for newer, better designs and going to opt out for something newer. Most everything else over the years I've sold off from that motor.

That much H.P. for the street in a naturally asperated motor was a bitch to drive in stop and go traffic regardless of what rear end gear ratio I had in the car. It idled at 1500 RPM because it was supposed to, had little H.P. below 4200 RPM, and got about 2 MPG if I remember correctly. However when the RPM's got just past 4000 RPM the best way I can describe the acceleration was violent. Kind of miss that feeling.
