Cubes win every time. The brutal torque from just off idle is intoxicating.

Have you considered a custom grind? This is my thinking for picking a hydraulic cam find the one you think is right then go 1 bigger in the same catalog. This usually puts you where you want to be power wise. Just my 2 cents worth. I personally would rather have it slightly rowdier than feel like its not what it should be. -
Cruising in a classic car with all the windows down and Tom Petty tunes turned up it. It is almost impossible to feel unhappy.

Intake manifold porting
Luke replied to Heardatbeat's topic in Engine, Transmission, Drive Line, Etc
It happens a bit on mild builds, gasket sealing is the trick as Chuck said. The intake port being smaller than the head port is not a huge issue as it works as a sort of anti reversion. Not the most desirable set up but you can make it work. -
Its down under mate you just need to look at it upside down :P

Thank you. Its strange i look at it now and see more than a few mitakes but they are part of the cars story so I leave them be.

Thanks. Yes it is the first car I built. I stripped it to bare metal and done almost everything my self except the paint. I have never built another car to this extent but finished off another build in the pic as a tuff street car with a 600ish 454 in it and I never really touched the 73 Mach 1. Colour coded engine bay and block always looks kind of nice i think.

This is a 71 Holden Monaro. I started to built as a 17yo and took a few years to finish. That 20+ year ago.

If you have 4Vs use them. Especially given what you guys pay for our heads. 2V build will hit your target easy but so will your heads for no extra cost
