Straight from 1965 - magazine article in building a B/Stock GTO. Used 4.33 gears & close ratio trans, and slicks. It'll be high on compression so you will want racing gas. The build used a factory cam & anti-pump up lifters and the rocker arm holes were welded up and re-drilled with smaller holes to keep too much oil from flowing. RPM for the engine build was 6,700 RPM's with stock prepped rods, tri-power, and the air tub. Good for getting the car in the 12's.
I question the primary jet size as it seemed a bit large for factory, but I could not find anything in my reference collection to verify or provide the correct jet sizing.
So you could go Stock in class and build accordingly by the book and have fun, or tweak a little here and there and add a little more tire smoke and speed.
