Sure hope that guy has a bunch of extra rear tires laying around. He's going to need them............
 
It reminds me of my 340 hp '63. I bought it in the fall of '62 and was afraid to get a 360 because my friends were telling me that there wasn't a lot of people who knew how to work on fuelies.
I raced 1/4 mile and the best I turned was 12.2 @ 120mph. Fuelies turned 11.9 or 12 flat. I decided to put in a 360 horse cam, three dueces and straight headers. In the process of welding the headers, didn't realize the fuel filter had leaked a little and we had a neat fire. Burned a piece of the right fender and the wire harness.
Anyway, could never get the car to run right with the 360 cam and took it out. :shrug01: Heck of an experiece though.
 
That's Nothing!!!

:dancer01: I had the same set up on my 10 speed!:lmao:

That dude had better hold on!
 
Can you tell us what you are doing for a hood. I have a feeling that the 572 with the 3 deuces may have some clearance issues under a stock mid year small block hood. A friend of mine has a shop here in Maryland and he just completed a 572 install in a '67 coupe. I know he had a custom FI intake made to get a big block hood to fit and they had to do a little fiberglass massaging to get that to work. But it is a nice setup!
 
As far as the hood goes, it is a funny story. The customer swore that he was told that it would fit under a stock flat small block hood before the project began. I laughed at that, but he still said to do it. Now that the engine is in, I showed him what it looks like with the air cleaner on. He was shocked. Now I have a 66 big block hood on its way. It will fit when I get done, as many remember, there were factory big blocks with 3-2, this one is just a little taller. The unseen fitment issue was the 5 speed. That was like putting 10 lbs in a 5 lb sack.
