They are good looking wheels. I saw them while over there once. I should have went with them instead of the twist tanjent I went off on (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Andyrew - 283 Forged crank 5.7" rods Trw Forged 2210 12.5CR 4.060 pistons = 310 c.i. 441 open Chamber Iron heads w/ 2.02/1.6 valves Ends up being rated @ 10.5 CR w dynamic compression @ 6.63 with the Duntov-97 Dynamic CR w/282S is 8.08 It will run with a dual plane manifold 650-750 carb Headers I ran all the cams based on this scenerio on Performance Trends engine analyzer to come up with the graphs for the power band. If I get 20% less at the wheels, I should be in good shape - My only concern at the moment is the valve lift is .578 on the Duntov - which may be way to much... I may be better off going w/ the 282S cam where the gross valve lift is .495 I bought the shortblock and heads for $1100 - |

My alterations to the Brad Maurer kit...
The bottom long is how it came from Brad - The top long is after I got done with them - I added a signififcant number of holes for additional plug welds - Including at the top to attach the sill plate - I found that the zinc weld through primer did not do a very good job of letting me weld through - so I used a the little peel and stick dots to keep primer from the areas that were to receive the plug welds...
