Bjorn and Drew...I definitely need to get with yall next time I am in Houston. I am not sure when that will be though.
So yall think a 400 or 428 with lightly ported 6x heads, a mild cam, and a 750 cfm carb would get me to about 13 flat? Also, would a tri-power set up help that much? I have been meaning to go bone yeard scavaging here in central and west Texas, do yall think that most of the 6x heads have already been picked over in the last 30 years?
I still really like that viper blue 67 Firebird 428 on collector car trader, but I can't justify getting it now (which means, I don't have the money...because if I did, I could justify it ).
Then there is a white 69 here in Austin with a 350 and 4 speed auto, which is just about the opposite of what I want (67/68 400 4 speed). It is owned by a musician that was thinking about recording at my studio. I tried to trade him studio time for the car, but he didn't bite. Figured if he did, I could trade it for what I wanted.
