Hi Murf. A/C in the convertible, that will be sweat. Your wife is going to want to drive that ALL the time!

This thread is for the same car I had at Great Bend. That first photo in post 1 is what I want to get the car back too.

I did some brazing on one of the intake ports and got in a hurry and didn’t take time to pressure check it. It was the only place I did any brazing in the head, I ended up removing all the brazing and redid it with a cast iron welding. The cast iron rod I use has a really high modulus of elasticity, higher that the factory iron, it is really resilient to cracking. I thought at the time that brazing would be a good fix, but where there is a thin area right next to a thick area it is tough to get the brazing to stick to the thicker iron. Brazing doesn’t mix well with other welding right next to it. I had to start over. I attached a photo of pressure checking.

I am switching back to the factory intake right now. The T/A is in the back of our race trailer. I have been looking and I have partial picture of my car. But no full photo’s. I think they were in my old phone . Lol

For Pontiacs we have a 68 GTO 400 HO with ported 16s (314 cfm) stroked to 455 cid, it is getting the Rhoads hyd roller cam set up we have. Our 71 T37 has a 455 and 280 cfm 96 heads, it is 10:1 and a big sff cam. The GTO is build similarly to my T/A, it is a high compression 11:1 pump gas build also. We are working on those, just went thi both engines. We also have a Super Stock 400 HO engine for the GTO we have been rounding up part for it. Not sure when we will get to play with that though, the GTO is going to be in street clothing most of the time. My brother and I just bought the GTO last year.
