NEW ENGINE COMBO

[mike]

;D ;D ;WELL ITS ALLMOST TIME FOR ME TO GO PICK UP MY NEW SHORT BLOCK FROM LAS VEGAS. MAKING A ROAD TRIP OUT OF IT NOW THAT I AM DONNE WORK FOR THE SEASON.
THE NEW COMBO WILL BE A 582 BBC 9.8 DECK FLAT TOPS{NOS READY} 4.6 BORE &4.375 STROKE LESS COMPRESSION THAN THE OLD 496 BUT MORE CUBES &STROKE LOOKING FOR ABOUT THE SAMME PERFORMANCE WITH PUMP GAS AS THE OLD COMBO. I WAS TOLD TO EXPECT A BIT MORE IN THE TORQUE DEPARTMENT SO ITS GOING TO BE FUN TO KEEP ER PLANTED BETWEEN GEARS ON THE RADIALS .
IF IT ALL WORKS OUT ILL BE DOWNN SIZING THE SLIKS &GOING TO A 3.73 RATIO TO MAKE IT WORK HARD UP TOP.

Sounds like you'll be flying again in no time..youre keeping the same top end as last year? I hear there are a few more guys going to be running the radials this year..should be interesting..got a few gunning for you!...

[wildcobrar]

Sounds like it is going to be a torque monster. Look forward to seeing it run. Truely hope you gain over the original set up. Always fun to find a little more.
