Here's my combination:

66 GTO Convertible Reef Turquoise, Black top, Dark Turquoise Interior

447 Cu In (Original 389 +.030 with Butler Performance Stroker Kit)
Bore: 4.092" (stock 4.062")
Stroke: 4.250" (stock 3.750")
Bored and Honed with torque plate
Block decked to a height of 10.215" (was 10.225")
Zero piston to deck clearance
Lightweight Ross Flat top Forged Pistons (+.030") (426 grams)
Relocated floating pins and double spiral locks
Sealed Power Rings (hand fitted)
Eagle 6.800" forged steel H Beam Rods (stock 6.625")
Rod to stroke ratio: 1.6:1
Clevite Rod Bearings
Eagle Crankshaft polished and balanced (4.250" Stroke)
Fed Mogul Main Bearings
Rotating assembly internally balanced
9.5:1 compression ratio

66 Tri-Power setup (replaced original Carter 4BBL and manifold)
Aluminum Tri-Power intake manifold (gasket matched and not painted)
Correct Rochester Carbs (jetting 71/66/71)

Comp Cams XE274H Cam (replaced an 068 that I had put in around 1990)
Adv Dur 274/286 Dur@ .050" 230/236 Lift .488"/.491" LSA 110
Crower lifters (manufactured by Topline Hylift/Johnson for Crower)

6X-8 Heads: by KRE (Kauffman Racing) (replaced original 093 Heads)
Street ported, gasket matched, exhaust x-over filled
Comp Cams 1.52" Roller Tip Rockers with polylocks
Milled for 96 cc bowls (setup for 93 Octane)
Flow: Intake Exhaust (at 28" of water)
.100" 90 62
.200" 147 131
.300" 201 164
.400" 228 182
.500" 246 196
.600" 244 204
Stainless Steel Ferrea Valves 2.11" Intake and 1.77" exhaust
995 Springs
Three angle valve job

67 HO Manifolds Ported by Ram Air Restorations to 2.41" and gasket matched
(replaced original 66 "log" manifolds)
2 1/2" PY Pypes mandrel bent aluminized dual exhaust system (no X pipe)
2 1/2" Dynomax Super Turbo 20" mufflers

700R4 trans 1st gear: 3.06, 2nd gear: 1.63, 3rd gear: 1.00, 4th gear: 0.70
Hughes 22-25L Lockup Converter (2,200 - 2,500)
3.23 "open" rear end (WAY TOO MUCH wheelspin...3.23 posi to be installed)
Tires: BF Goodrich Radial TAs (regular street) 225/70R14 (26.5")

Overkill for a street car that will probably never see the dragstrip again? Maybe it is, but it sure will be fun for the next few decades! I really do need to get the posi installed as the biggest problem is wheelspin! I just barely (and I mean barely!) get into the outside carbs and it's all wheelspin at most surface street speeds.

Here's a link to some pictures of the build.

Enjoy! Jim
