Cool, 2 questions for you. When you say 'csx197' is that a block serial number? Ours is stamped 228. Does Shelby track all the blocks they sell?

Any power numbers on your combo? That's in the ballpark for what I'm looking for.

I use a Comp cams software package that's kind of a desktop dyno. With the 284 cam they estimate 530hp @5500 and 550 tq @ 4000 rpm. The 312 actually has much lower numbers at higher RPM. I guess it needs more intake and maybe heads to make it come alive.

Curiously, previous owner said this motor was dyno'd at 550hp with that cam. Perhaps the numbers were a little optimistic?
