I will be using the timing set that is included with the Cam kit. It looks like the CR will be around 9-9.25 when all said and done. The ilde was pretty high before ~800 RPM and I usually have it around 1100 when moving around the docks.The SM manifolds have tails that almost touch the tips on the thru hull (~2.5 Inches), I was thinking of setting the initial ignition timing at 10* but since I will be using the dyno, I will get to play with it a bit.

Sorry to go off topic, but I like your fauxtina C-10.
I own a couple 67-72 myself :) https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...7f&oe=574EFBCA https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...72&oe=5798E90D |

Thanks for the input, I am returning the originally ordered kit and going with the K-01-451-8. Do you have a part number for that HD coupler you speak of?
here is a used one at the fraction of the cost.(i got mine on ebay for $100) http://www.shipwrecksalvage.net/merc...04-p-4305.html and here is the coupler # 8M0098795 |

Josh,
Comp is rather weak in the lift department, and I'm not a fan of their cores. A big block Chevy with decent heads needs lift. I would look at some crane offerings. The 731 (or equivalent) is a good choice, but requires you to spin it a little faster (5600). Just my thoughts. |
I just put a 168761 in my 454 mag. Hoping to dyno soon. I had a comp cam similar to the 168731 that peaked out at 5200 previously.

My understanding is the 5.3L short block is 1200 HP capable.
