    Gm/Chevy= practically the exact same.. Comes out of the same factory

    Agreed. Same basic design but this motor came out of a pontiac. Chevy and pontiac don't use the same motors. It is a big block pontiac. The head design is completely different.

          Earl, you can restate your same comment all you want. But when most people say a GM/GENERAL MOTORS "big block V8" Everyone goes, GMC/CHEVY. The pontiac route is rarely gone over. So yeah, I'll accept I was wrong. But just because he's done motors for 10 years, doesn't mean he's always right.

          An anyone from the SBC/BBC area could have made the same mistake I did. Because that's what most GM SBC's look like.

            thats why I chose this motor. Super rare. Never been done, torque out of the ass, and the downward facing exhaust was Perfect for this car.

                    Nice. I had a 6.7L 406 stroker, they definitely have the balls to move.

                                    i had a slight freak out saturday morning and wasnt happy the direction i was taking.....so i dismantled the whole front end again and started over on the engine bay. In the 16 hours i put in this weekend i am 1000% happier with the results so far. it will be on the next level where i felt i was rushing and slacking before.

                                          Very cool! 

                                          It is hard to pause, reevaluate, go backwards and keep moving forward.  Props!

                                          I'm definitely in for more info on that engine and your current thought process!
