Thanks , This isn't a race engine by any means just a little thumper like we built back in the 70's , It's more about trying for a nice clean appearance and a little fun to drive truck that I don't have to wrench on every weekend when it's done . I can switch plugs easily and I'm not going to the track with it .

The hardest launches it will do are in front of my neighbors house Who just built a total pro Cuda show car with a super charger with 3 chrome Holleys on a 499 sticking 3.5' out of the hood it gets about 1.5 miles to the gallon , I haven't seen him turn it loose yet ? It sounds great pretty sure it's a pegleg , It's been running the show circut pretty much lately My neighbor (his father) on the other side has a nice '47 on a S10 frame he just finished another peg leg . So this little small block with a rock chrusher and 3.73 posi should get the neighbors going in a fun way , It's a good thing to have neighbors who are interested in the same thing as you are . No one around here complains about large compressors running all day or the occasional loud engines running late at night
