It is a Dart SHP block (4.125) Callies crank (4"stroke) Mahle forged pistons (-5cc) callies comp star rods (6") comp cam (can't remember the exact number but it is something like x 288 (small base billet with cast gear), roller lifters, roller rockers 3/8 push rods, AFR 210 heads 75cc. trying to get around 10.8:1 compression ratio, HEI dist with mechanical tach gear drive). ARP everything inside and out. Holley 750 vac secondaries from SMI in Huntington beach ca. Supposed to flow around 815 CFM with all the work he does. wanting something for the street only, no strip use.

those heads IMHO are tiny...with that compression do you plan on going with thicker gaskets and throwing a snail on it?
I'm doing a DART 434 (4.155 bore with a dragonslayer 4") 12 to 1 with RHS LS7 305cc FRH heads and my long tubes are Kooks 2" to a 3.5" collector, X-pipe, two multicore Borla X-1 40575 mufflers 3" pipes from back to front...for the street
