Just missing the custom ground Isky Cam....



Wait till the shocks come in, and I'll upload a pic of all the new suspension parts too...

She should be up and running for Daytona Beach Spring Fling Hot Rod Run

Is the build going to increase power output to more than new stock? More bore/stroke/compression/better heads/bigger cam? I'm assuming the new cam is bigger, at least.

I was origianlly increasing bore from a 331 to a 365, with 390 heads, etc...but the car needed so much suspension work ($$$) that I had to scale back. I already had the cam ordered (Mild) and I have a set of 390 heads with Isky springs coming...but I'm gonna build a second hi-po motor on the side. This motor will be about 235hp, the Hi-po bored out 331 will be around 345hp.
