i havent had it on the dyno yet, but a guesstimate would be close to 475 crank HP no nitrous, and what ever a 100 shot will give me.
And its a 3.89 rear gear.

Ebay huh? How much did you pay for them (if you don't mind me asking) and do they leak? That's one thing that always makes me nervous on ebay b/c I got a intake on there once and it wouldn't ever seal correctly. So finally I had to take it to a machine shop to get them to "level" the head sides of it and it finally seated. But problem is that after all that I could have gotten a name brand for the same price. 😢

yeah, they seal very well, i havent had a leak from them yet. the bottom is a machined aluminum flange. i am very happy with them. i believe they were $65

Re: car

Pretty much a basic 383 eagle bottom end. COMP solid tappet cam .555 lift 306 Dur. 260 dur. at .050. Dart PRO1 heads with manly valves and retainers. COMP springs. COMP 1.5 roller rockers. Victor Junior intake, basic Holly 750 DP, and my ZEX kit. Trans is a TH350 i rebuilt with a Huges rebuld kit. and a TCI manual valve body and it has a 3500 stahl converter.

This winter i plan on getting a full Forged bottom end and put the compression around 13.5:1. im getting a full roller cam, and upgrade to an 850 carb. and some suspension work.

Sweeeeet Video! I love that car. How much does you car way now with the Ford 9" in it. Have you lightened the car at all or is it pretty much stock interior and do you have an all steel body?
