    Hi all!! I just closed my '55 Chevy engine. I realized that is a 4 bolt engine, which here in Italy is very very rare. I installed 2 Vortec Marine heads, a Comp Cam with the highest lift I found, a Brawler Carb and a Weiand Intake. Now she sounds really loopy and I love that. She became really drivable and most important, POWERFUL!! CR is 10:1 from the original 6.5 and the Dinamic Compression rate is 8.4
    Now she's really enjoyable!

    Don't worry about it; it happens to me all the time. I think it's a software problem. I have gotten into the habit of checking the thread out and deleting obvious duplicate pictures before I post the thread.

    What is a Brawler carb? Greg
     
  9. Beautiful car, but I’m not sure those are Vortec heads. Vortec heads do not have center intake manifold bolts and the intake bolts on the corners go in completely vertical.

  10. That car has got to stick out like a sore thumb in Italy!
    Cool.
