[QUOTE="halcat, post: 513646, member: 2295"] I built a 69 COPO camaro clone. To the book, L72 engine, 4.10 gear, M22 trans.( even though it was never in a camaro I had it) and on 255 radials it ran 8.08. Your chevelle kicks ass. I have a 489 in my crawler now with a set of Brodex Racerite heads, small port big valves, that makes power way beyond all the old iron out there. If money is not there for new heads, stick with oval port, not peanut, heads. Go open chambered with a .250 dome piston. Stock bottom end is fine. Clean up in the valve area and port match the intake gasket. KEEP YOUR CAM MODEST. I had a 427 in a pickup with 44's with a mellings off road cam, 493 lift, that would blow your mind up to 5500 RPM's. With a stock bottom end, keep your cam below 6000 RPM's. Two bolt mains are fine. Your cam needs to peak torque at 3000 and hp at 5000, go to 6000 now and than tho, it sounds damn good. Build it and let's wheel!! See you on the trail. [/QUOTE]
