    Hey y'all. I'm new at this lol. Wanted to hear some feedback. First of all my Mav currently has a stock 302 wild mild upgrades; Edelbrock Performer intake, Summit Racing long tube headers, Road Demon 625cfm carb and MSD electronic ignition. Good power for a little car haha.

    Engine Swap: 1966 289 bored .40 over, Speed Pro forged pistons, Crane Aluminum roller rockers, Crane Cam (not sure on the specs), balanced and blue printed, going to use my current MSD electronic ignition, headers and carb.

    Any idea's on what kind of power it will putting out?

    I have two intake's in the garage I'm trying to decide on: Edelbrock F4B or Weiand Stealth?

    Also has a TCI c4 tranny with a 2000 stall and a rebuilt 8" rear with 3.25 gears.

    Thanks in advance! Let me know what you guys think! :racingflag:
