Today End!..............

I am assuming you will use extractors? if so just watch out with studs that the middle two outside studs don't stop the extractors fitting
( if so most people cut the top of stud off above the nut so no part of the stud is proud of the nut)

Yes I will be Smitty, thanks for the heads up, is that still an issue with the EFI Heads?

Sorry Mick don't know, just waiting on an answer

3.55:1 ......

3.55:1 ......

Good compromise for that Combo

Yep that and the 7004 should wake it up some and still be able to cruise at a sane rpm.

3.55:1 ......

Gunna need more tyres

Gunna need more tyres

Yeah I imagine it's gonna be traction limited for sure....

It's funny with the advances in technology and how blase we've become about power outputs I didn't get real excited about this build, looking back though it's going to be a bit of a weapon!

[XUV]

'a bit' I had the 3.55 behind a 253 and a POS tramatic and could smoke a set,

this is going to destroy tyres, you need the volvo's snow start setting for the auto, lol ............. guess there's always the faithful 3.08

[IJ.]

I had a Crower Injected BBC in my Coupe and it sort of got traction with 295's on it, he's just removed a set of 3.08:1 so I don't think he'll go back..

Got any old pic's of your HQ BBC Coupe IJ, sounds like it was a Beast...
