Hawkins 812

I rebuilt it myself using a kit from comp cams. First rebuild, im actually VERY pleased with the results, but if i could go back id add a friskier cam and maybe even switch out the stock rocker assembly. Its a tight fit with the 390, but WELL worth it .

LOL,,, I wonder what gives you that Idea!! http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...02182256975432


Go with the hookers!! I would go with the 351,, its still a small block and your 69 will be a great candidate considering the bigger engine bay..

Build a 351! Its not any more expenisive than a 302, and it'll fit right in there. The power and sound will make it the perfect cruiser/ricekiller.

351-408 all the way, dont even bother with a 302 unless its turboed..........a 460 will fit pretty good as well......but as far as a small block a 393-408 doesent cost much more than a 351w with the same level of parts.

you want low end grunt 351 FTW you look for high revving 302/289.

Hawkins,youre kidding right?althought open headers sound cool at first.No one wants to run them all the time.

USMCrebel

i do....course 2 many .50 cal later and you cant hear, i run str8 pipes, but thatsmostly b/c im to lazy to install the flowmasters.

mat11089

lol where there lies the exception o i do it too every now and then but it is not a common yearning to run open headers all the time and thats diff than straight pipes

Exactly what I was thinking
