I didn't mean to stir everyone up. Here's my current combo. 455 .30 over, Performer Intake, 6x Heads, Comp Cams XE268 Cam, Lifters, Springs, H.E.I., 800 CFM Edelbrock 4bbl, 400T trans (converter a little over stock), 2:56 rear, Flowmaster 2 1/2 dual exhaust w/ traverse muffler. Currently I'm running 14" Rally II's w/ close to stock size Goodyear ST's.
The bottom end was rebuilt in 1989. The engine was built for street racing when I got it (In a '78 GP that ran low 12's in the 1/4)and was way too radical to run on the street. In 2000, the heads, cam and top end were done to make it more driver friendly.
The engine runs excellent and always starts immediately. The problem lies in burning oil upon acceleration. It's now burning oil at a rate of 1 Qt per 2 tanks of gas. I can't tell you how much it bugs me to see the blue trail of smoke behind me. Especially leaving from a stop light.
My car is driven 3-5k per Summer and enjoyed. Car shows and drag strips are no longer in the equation. If anyone has an idea I haven't thought of, please feel free to let me know.
