OK, let the beatings begin...

k...thanks for all the cheap shots. if that was harsh, then sorry. doesnt seem like you have any problems dishing it out tho.

I agree with the above...5.0 block stroked to 331, AFR185s or TFS heads, 10:1, Wieland excellerator, headers, Duraspark ignition and a custom FTI hyd roller. I'd expect in the neighborhood of 430fwhp, as I've seen a similar motor pull 402hp with a dual plane intake and an off the shelf cam.

It's all fun man... I'm cool with what you did/said. Just figured I'd give one back.:nice:

I appreciate the feedback and will stick with the 289. Look to the winters of 06/07 and 07/08 to make some nice engine Mods after we finally get her up, running and looking good.:flag:

:nono: Yeah, but you're 18, he's 33 and the first 4 letters in his screen name lead me to believe he's probably gotten as much, if not more, than he's given. If you'd have read what he originally wrote, you'd see he said he didn't know a lot about what he was dealing with yet. The internet is a wealth of information, but it's an even bigger source of disinformation. The old saying 'Don't believe everything your read,' ought to be altered to 'Don't believe everything you see on the internet.' He is a noob and admitted as much, don't be so harsh on him, you were a noob once just like I was. :nice:

+1. darn kids like to pipe up when they can beat up on us unexpecting seniors........ and Larry, you were only a noob up until you finished that Ark project .... My only questions was, did it have twin screw small blocks or a single big block....
