How about a 900 cube 385 with a 871 on top. LOL

This would be cool on a set of SOHC heads. http://www.wimp.com/combustionengine/

I am thinking I am soon or later going to absolutely need a SOHC engine so I will do as I did with the  455. One part at a time...Jon

Did you ever get the cammer running Jay? Just wondering as the season is half over already. I like to also hear about the improvements you engineered in. I will never have anything that big but a solid Genesis iron based engine would go nicely in my Comet Rodder. BTW how much heavier than the stock 390 would that be with an iron Genesis and scammer goodies? There certainly is a lot more whirling gadgets there LOL.....Jon

Not yet, I'm actually still waiting for some spintron data from Bill C.  I've asked Bill to swap on a different valve spring for the test, but he has had some issues with his valve spring checker which has delayed things.  Not a big deal for me, because I've been buried in the intake adapter project.  But that will be finishing up pretty quick, and Bill is getting close with getting the spring set up, so I'm guessing I'll get my new cam back and be able to get going on the engine again within a couple of weeks...

I can smell the flying rubber snots already LOL. Hey try not to wrinkle the track buddy we just finished paving it from your last visit HE HE......Jon

I should be able to get that spring data early in the week.  Then I'll get the head set back up and finished ASAP!
