Hi Ron, Well my post was just kicking around the idea. My budget won't allow much for a while yet. Back in the day these were raced with the Boss 429's. Your correct that that is a 385 truck series engine. Maybe I should just have the block I have redone to 428SCJ spec's? It's supposed to be a low milage replacement block. The car show 57,000 miles. And has sat for a long time. 50 Miles or so since my Father got it and sitting since 1979. Two issues to resolve. Choke adjustment on the Autolite carb and pulling out the axles for new seals. Than it could be driven. I am some what swaying toward a 750 Double pumper at this time. So Ron is it worth having the engine balanced and blueprinted? Should I consider having the heads mildly ported with stainless valves? Dave
