Cool Charles, Congratulations with your new engine ! Let us know how it procedes.
Andr� > Well, I went and did it. I bought a 502ci, 450hp 550tq Crate engine > tonight. A guy had bought it to put in a '75 Camaro, then lost interest. > It has never been run. The only thing done to the engine is the addition of > a high volume oil pump and a 7qt Miloden oil pan. Here is the link to the > conservative dyno numbers: > http://www.gmgoodwrench.com/perfparts/images/parts/pdf/12568778.pdf > > I think my '65 will be really fun with this engine *grin*. It's the perfect > sleeper setup. Black wrinkle valve covers with no distinguising marks. I > also bought the MSD billet Distributor, timing control, and 6a Ignition > system he had for it (only the 6a was used, everything else new in the box). > I already have a 750 holley sitting on the shelf to feed fuel to this bad > boy. Now I need to research electric fuel pumps. I know next to nothing > about what gph and psi I need for something like this. > > Now to try and mount this thing in the next few weeks. I plan on painting > it orange, and modifying a set of headers to fit. I've been told that > there's some slight grinding that needs to be done to the flanges to fit > properly. > > Well, I'm going to try and go sleep tonight, which I doubt I can do. > > Later > Charles > www.65ss.com > > >
