    How did I do

    Looks like "rat rod" material. A huge investment of cash and time to restore. My 2 cents. Mike

    Switched source isn't good enough for EFI? Lol

    Hydraulic cam comparable to the 292-509 purple shaft.

    My wagon turned a 12.68 in the 1/4 with a .030 over 440 with the 509. I was using 346 heads (with 2 cracked valve seats) and my 6 pack, along with Dougs 2" headers and 10:1 CR. 4.30 gears w/ loose converter. Mike
