Re: engine work and theory crafting

ok doing more research. looking at the following grinds...
the engine as it sits.

454 eldelbrock performer 2.0 intake. holley 850 dbl. pumper. headers.. 2.5 inch dual exhaust out the back. turbo 400 trans. 12 bolt rear.. i'm unsure of the gearing. id vote lowish like 3:42 / 3:55 ish...

a sunny day cruiser.. cruise nights a now n then couple hundred mile weekend trip some light to light fun in the sun beating down the local mustang crowd.. a smile for me to enjoy when I feel like burning up 50 bucks worth of tire...

xe268h "a street machine grind"

x4 270h "4 x 4 cam"

270h which sounds to me a little hotter / higher rpm performance cam.

im not anti a low rpm converter.. say 1500-2500 its not going to tow much if anything at all.. ( maybe my small family boat... 3500 pounds to the local lake...)
so lets hear some input, opinions... thoughts? experiences.... lay it on me.
the missus said I could have the cash for my goodies.. so lets build this.
