Default Fresh SB400 with Rochester FI for Matt

Matt Lavender has a custom 64 that has not be running for 12yrs.
He's just finished a 406SB and doesn't know how to post pictures/videos, so he sent them to me to post here.
So Matt, you can take it from here.

Thanks Tom. It's a 64 fuelly with Ti, first one off the line on January 6th, 1964. It's been in storage since 1983, on blocks and fuel drained. Just got this baby back together and it runs great, thanks to your posting a video on FI unit you put on a small block 400 you posted. This car made 512 torque and 481 hp on the dyno. This fuel injection unit is very responsive and I have no regrets.
the last picture was a video, that's why it looks funky. Any way to get that to play?
thanks again Tom

At what RPM does your engine make it's max HP? The Stock Rochester FI only flows 603cfm?

At 5700 rpm it made 481hp and with an air snoot on it read 622cfm. Nothing has been done to my FI unit, ie., porting or modifying. The torque had it's highest reading at 4400rpm. This engine pulls really nice and sounds awesome.
Yes, the video does play, I didn't click on the picture to get to the video on photobucket.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll figure out how to post on my own and load another video.

Sounds GREAT! Those have gotta to be the BIGGEST flares I have ever seen!! And, I do like that custom front, better than many other period versions.
