I had KC build me a Pond 482. I have started it but haven't driven the car yet as I am finishing it up now. This is the "common" 482 Keith builds, 600HP/600 ft/lbs give or take a few. Some componenets I picked and why-

Pond block- lighter than Shelby, strong enough for what I wanted to do, looks original (in an aluminum sort of way) with original casting numbers.
Hydraulic Roller cam- Low maintenance, plenty of power, I wasn't going to rev over 6000 anyway.
Edelbrock heads, stage 2- Matched the rest of the components
Edelbrock Performer intake- Cost effective and it works!
Quickfuel carb- Recommended by Keith
Scat rotating assy- Per Keith

Things I did different from his advertised offering- I used an Aviaid oil pan and the "Cobra 427" aluminum valve covers.
The thing sounds awesome and I can't wait to get some miles on it.
