A ride? No! You cant give or take rides down the track. You would have to drive it! I might have to put a 2x4 under the pedal so you cant go full throttle!

I got out of work yesterday @ 5:30 and started assembling the engine with my brother. After a couple speed bumps, it is finally together and I just got home @ 7 AM this morning! We will be dynoing it today, so I will have some numbers by tonight as long as everything goes smooth.

Here are the baseline numbers.
634HP/553TQ
We had a few things slow us down so we didnt get many pulls in. So, we'll be going back tomorrow to tune.
To do list:
-Jet carb, its really rich right now.
-Try spacers, we have the carb sitting on the intake right now, we are gonna try a few combos.
-Possibly change the rockers on the exhaust side.
-Try different size headers.
-Timing.
-Adjust valve lash.
-Possibly try a different carb.
It was a good day overall. I was hoping for higher numbers to start but the goal is still within reach, we have a lot of options as far as tuning goes.
I'll post new numbers tomorrow night around the same time.

New numbers 674HP/567TQ
Still had more in it, we don't like the rocker set up. I tried to get away with what I had but it desperately needs a Jesel set up. Too much deflection, we are losing lift. I'll be selling some parts to pay for the Jesel, so if you are looking for some SBC top end parts, just ask me.

Very neat build, just curious if you are using an engine dyno or chassis dyno? Didn't catch if the motor was in the car or not.
