    yep i pick up some blocks new from engine quest some time ago if you want to go this way i will just have to talk someone out of one i sold him 10 years ago or i know were a good tall deck is.i ran many cams thru the 526 cid i keep getting very hi TQ numbers past 700tq and past 90 percent efficient this is somewhat like real deal i built for a air boat some time ago .when i am done you can have tech or jerry run numbers if you want .techs has the same soft ware? on this engine it puts out 700TQ+ @ 2500 and 400 hp around 3800.i was playing around the efficiency with cams i came up with cams that are not hard to get made.showing 90 percent but theres going to be thremo and friction loss but i have a way around that right now just play with the cam numbers so i can get it to put efficiency off the chart . but there is going to be real world numbers

    Hey Pat.You still haven't given me a ball park figure on a BBC tall block set-up.

    What O/D tranny do you think would hold up???.Not a Gear Vendors O/D.

    I did find 3.40's rear end gear set-up for just short of $300.
    Good Bye

    Look at this trans---E-Bay 320652649026

    And I just made a deal for 20 BBC core blocks

    A 4l80 would also make a good trans for you --electronic control and OD also
