I would be thrilled to death with that engine. I bet half the folks on this forum ‘wish’ they would have went with a different cam in their build with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight (... as I raise my own hand ...)

But for fun on the street in the weekender / cruise night / better-than-paying-a-therapist car, it would be hard to beat your 496.
Couldn't agree more. A lot of people on this forum race. Not me.

This engine fits in between my '70 t/a 433 CID with 447 HP and 535 TQ thru RA IV Manifolds and my '70 GTO with a 461 stroker with 600 HP anf 625 TQ. Both engines built by the builder of this engine.

The engine is going into a '73 brewster green TA. Getting converted to a six speed tremec t-56 and 3.73's out back. Original numbers matching 455 and turbo 400 are going ito storage.
