All valvetrain will be upgraded and rod bolts........I'm still pondering on this one. Allen will be tuning this @ his house. I will be posting up soon.

Thanks,

Thank you sir!! It will be this summer for sure.

Oh yeah, how "built" is your 60E?

Flyer had a big hairy cam like that in his 5.3, you might want to PM him on the tuning details.
How much do you think I should mill the heads??? I'm going to stick with the 1.7 ratio. I'm probably going to get the 4000 and the 60E is built!! The thing with the gears is that when this thing is finished, I'll go and get some times on it and thats it. So with that being said I'll run a 26" tall tire @ the track and see what times I get and if I'm not happy, then I'll put some more gear in it. With the 3.73's in it now and a 26" tire it'll be close to a 4.10:1 gear(I think).

Well, I'm trying not to go that route!!!! But 1slow01Z71 is a bad influence on me!! I might before it's all said and done. Maybe one time @ the track to get a time slip.
