Charles, To be honest I don't really know yet. From the mock up on the 70 GTO I just test fitted I would say they will, but until I have a TA in the shop to test fit I would be guessing. I designed the intake to fit under the stock hood of a 67 Firebird. So I am pretty sure they will fit the TA's too.

We are preparing this 475 Cubic Engine for Forced Induction.

The engine will have 9 to 1 for compression.
Street Friendly Roller Camshaft.

Next step, Mark(Luhn) & Don(DCI) will be determining the Combustion Chamber Design & Size.
We plan on installing the Head Stud Stepped Inserts.

Steve

Check out Luhn Performance "Cam Bearings" and "Oil Pump" which will be used for this engine.

Machining is in progress on the Ram Air V heads. We decided to go with the Street/ Strip Porting with Intake Manifold Gasket Match. Crank was ordered a few weeks ago, it will have Dual Key Ways.

Something Steve has not shared here yet is the compression this engine will have. We are limiting the compression to 8 - 8.5-1 so he can run pump gas with the supercharger. I think his and Mark's intentions from Luhn Performance are to run around 15-16 pounds of boost. It's going to be interesting to see where the horsepower ends up without the blower on it. This is a relatively small cubic inch combo 475 cu. in. with low compression. I really hope it can muster at least 600 HP normally aspirated !!!

Steve I see you stated street/strip porting. I thought we are doing the street port??? I don't have a problem either way, just want to make sure I do what you want.
