To start I have a four bolt 454 that will be bored .060 over and a set of brodix -2 heads, I plan on using the stock crank and rods. I want to be able to run pump gas. It will be going in my 67 that has a freshly rebuilt th350 and 3.55 gears. I need some combo ideas and suggestions. thanks smile.gif

My son has an ATI built up turbo 350 behind a very healthy 540 Big Block and it's doing just fine and probably will be O.K. if he doesn't come out of the burnout box under power, which is what breaks 99% of all automatics. Sudden traction while spinning the tires is the easiest way to break an automatic. (sprag killer)
