Dyno sheet, 3/21/03404 viewsSo, here is the final HP tally. See attached dyno sheets. Per Dave at JBA:
"Max RWHP: 412 at 5300 RPM - calculated at flywheel 518 HP
Max RWTQ: 444 at XX00RPM - calculated at flywheel (TBD)
Timing - unknown
Notes:
Dyno run stopped at peak HP (5300 RPM/101 MPH); car bounces too much
Good power - what kind of cam? good choice
Slightly retard timing and richen fuel mixture at max load per request"
It runs much better, and cleaner. Spins 'em up in 3rd gear very easy now - have to be very careful when romping on the gas above 3K RPM! The idle seems too low - about 600 RPM - but they say I should leave it there. I am pretty happy with it (even if I am a little short of my 550 HP target). I can always install a 12 lb. blower pulley later!

Heater mount 1131 viewsUsed a Dremel cutoff wheel to open up a hole for the heater, and fabricated L bracket mounts from .062 aluminum sheet. These are riveted to the heater box (remove the 'guts' first!), be carefull not to drill into the internal channels that receive the fan tray or heater core.
Align everything, drill holes, and Cleco to test fit. The brackets will be mounted to the firewall using Nut-serts and 10-32 stainless fasteners.
