Rebuilding tips and tricks

Post by cylontymany »

I am searching for more info on building a blown 392 for the street. I want to build a stout motor but not to over do it as stated in the tex smith book. This book is a good general knowledge book but I want more. I wish some of the cackle heads would help us little guys that want a piece of nostalgia too!
