I have several choices for engines for my coupe - and all will hopefuly be built - one day!!
They range from stock 235's, to a built 235 + 0.030" pop-ups, triple carbs, and a 270ish duration cam.
I also have a Wade blower setup, which pumps 5lbs of boost.
for 261's I have a hop up setup, with 0.155" pop-up pistons, which will be built with 292 rods, for around 300 C.I. I have a 280/290 degree duration cam for this Mother of all Stovebolts.
I also have another 261 to be built, and it'll run jimmy rods, flat-tops and some serious head work, and possibly the blower.
I want to build an engine to give all the flatheads guys out here a run for their money
Going by what you guys have said - I'll have to run a WC T5, given that the Camaro has the ratios I want, it looks like this will be quite an expensive proposition. Ah well - horsepower doesn't come cheap.
Basically I want to run at around 2000 rpm with 4.11 gear, 30-31" tall tyres at 60 MPH.
