[QUOTE="johnkn, post: 13946175, member: 23549"] I thought I would share, here's the latest motor build on one of my cars, an original, early, 1968.5 428 CJ car. It was originally ordered from a dealership in NJ as a race car, the quickest combination at the time, a zero option, radio delete, 4.30 rear 4 speed car. She was raced from 1968 to 1974, then retired and put away for limited street duty. Complete nut and bolt correct restoration 2 years ago using the original parts and NOS where available. With the 4.30 rear, I put the original top loader on the shelf and have a new TKO-600 prepped by Liberty Gears ready to go in. The motor and major parts are all correct and correctly date coded to the May 1, 1968 build. When it came time for the motor rebuild I decided on one of the best FE builders in the world, Barry at Survival Motorsports. Initially my thoughts went from 400 to 500 to 600 to 700+ HP and back down several times before deciding to stay correct and true to this significant milestone car. Correct stock block, original iron heads, original CJ crank, rods, cast iron intake and exhaust manifolds, even the correct original Holley 735 and stock single-point ignition with original yellow top coil. My goal was 450hp [U]through the iron exhaust manifolds[/U], not even headers on this one. I have much more powerful, faster cars in the garage, but this one is old school cool IMHO running in an old white Mustang with Polyglas tires and dog dish hubcaps. LOL.
