Motor build for my 70 Monte

[BowtieThunder]

would be hard getting it down to 3500 with out cutting it up some like taking the big brace out of the doors

[Rooster]

I was reading about that, haven't looked at the doors to see what that would entail. Did you do that with yours?

[BowtieThunder]

yes we took them out of my doors wasnt to hard.I think we used a plasma cutter...... stuck a piece of aluminum between the door skin and the brace before cutting

Got my flow numbers this weekend. I have been told by a couple of people that the flow bench used reads low, I understand its an older smaller flow bench. That being said for a 24* heads that's not being taken all the way I'm happy with the results.

Pretty good numbers, what size bore were they flowed on. What cc are the ports?

[Rooster]

The heads are set up for a 4.60 bore and the intakes were 350cc's. I'm starting to wish I went a little bigger and built a 632. Having trouble getting pistons made anytime soon, not to mention finding a 4.625 crank. The one I have is new and has a blem.
