Happy accident to report in the spirit of accuracy, Geoff kindly pointed out to me that my carb is actually off of a 1965 421 based off of my tag number 3898S. The guy who had sold it to me told me it was off of a 1965 GTO, and i never checked it out - i ASSumed he was right. When i ordered the carb kit, i just gave Jon the numbers. My mistake for not verifying that, but i had intended to find a 421 carb to run anyway due to my camshaft and head work, figuring that would be a good match for the improved flow. Guess i can check that one off of the list.

Cardo,
thanks for the details on the build. Great numbers, Im trying to figure out where the SCR vs DCR numbers fall on these "stock/mild" builds Can you share: 1. what was your piston to deck clearance? 2. Did you deck the block? 3. Which head gasket # was used? Thanks Frank T |

Piston to deck is .003 down in the hole. Block was decked - had a very slight twist to the deck. Head gasket is the Butler SPM 19375 gaskets. Butler says they crush to approx .045. Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting the results of your build...it is close to what I am looking to do in my '64. Except I'll be running a Tri-Power, '64 GTO heads and plan on a 4" stroke. I would be very happy to end up with 1 hp/cid. Based on your engine I'm now much closer to an actual recipe.

Nice numbers. My 67 Firebird has a 65 389 as well. Here is my dyno run. As far as I know all original but it may have a different cam. Not sure.

How does that cam idle? Is it close to a 068? Have fun with that hot 389, I'd like to do that someday.. Enjoy and thanks for posting.

Sounds like a nice setup Cardo. A really sweet cruiser...but I think your cam specs out to 219/227 @ .050 lift (you gave the total duration and listed it "@ 050" ", I was like "WHA?!?! =D )
Anyway, congrats on doing a great build. -b Ponchy

I don't know about the idle vs 068, i don't know that i've heard a 068 specifically to say. The idle is slightly lopey, but nothing crazy for sure. Tom Vaught's commment pointed out to me my error in the duration number, i did post the correct numbers somewhere after that. Thanks again all for the encouragement. Really looking forward to getting this out on the street, but it'll be a while to have the time to get it all together. Hoping for mid to late summer for a first drive. I still have to build the body too. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=806153

You will be so happy you went conservative when your in the middle of city traffic with the family in the car.. I used to hate taking my family out with my car loping and loading up. What a pain in the a$$! I will never use the 041 cam again except to hold the back door open lol....

No problem. I appreciate it. It needs to be right if anyone that wants to duplicate the build.

Every 068 I've ever heard idles dead smooth.

Still learning about Pontiac engines. The 76 heads you used, are those stock for that engine or off another year?
Thanks. |

They're stock. The engine came out of a 65 Catalina. It was the 325 hp version. They're almost identical to the 77 heads that would have been on a GTO... in fact i don't really know or think that there was any difference. I am getting ready to build a duplicate of this motor, but since Dave at SD Performance isn't doing cast iron heads any more, I will have Kauffman do this next set.

ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, HE HAS A REALLY NICE STREET ENGINE FOR CRUISING.
Happy New Year! Tom V.

Happy New Year Tom! Hope you're staying warm this winter! I got to put about 200 miles on this engine so far, and it's great as a street engine. Absolutely no problems with drivability, no pinging, plenty of low end power. Idles great, and runs on pump gas. Had some fun with it in the driveway after I got it put together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTMnf3KjvzI

That makes more sense than the 262/268 first mentioned!
