Originally I was looking at the butler 500 pump gas package.
This will be backed up by a 4l80e with probably the stock converter and an upgraded rear end but I haven’t landed on a ratio yet. Sorry for the jumbled post but I had to hit the road for a family deal that came up in the middle of this. Thanks for all the advice and I will check out the links above tonight.
72cc heads > 16-18cc piston dish > 0 deck block for optimum squish, if at .030 and 4.25 for a 428 block, then that's about 10.6-10.8.....no problem on 92 octane with the "good" chambers. A ported HO intake would be nice with a stock converter if you need hood clearance, or else an RPM. I'm guessing it might be "soft" down low with the T-2 and a stock verter around town.
