Thoughts on engine combo
I recently bought a 77 Can Am with the original W72 engine. The car has been in storage for about 20 years. The owner was very meticulous and rebuilt the engine and added some aftermarket parts during the rebuild. I have cranked the car and it sounds very strong and feels very powerful. I can’t drive it right now due to the front sheet metal being off the car. All machine work was done by Race Engine Design in Chattanooga TN. It has TRW forged pistons, a Comp 280 Magnum cam, Comp roller tip rockers, Hooker Headers, Edelbrock Performer manifold, original Quadrajet rebuilt by the Carb Shop, DUI distributor, TCI 3500 stall converter, and 3.73 posi rear end.. What are your thoughts on this combo? I know a lot of people here don’t like single pattern cams and stall converters this big. It will be strictly for fun and no daily driving. Thanks!
