Re: sleeper motors........high torque/horsepower
Don't really have any good pix, but here's my combos that are similar to what you are describing. I have an 85 Monte SS with a 350 and a 67 Malibu with a 327. Both engines have essentially identical hardware. The Monte has factory 305 smog heads (don't laugh, they have tight combustion chambers and flow pretty good for a pair of wheel chocks), and the Chevelle has double-humps. They both have Performer RPM's and .480"/230 @ .050 cams. Both are about 10:1. Both have headers, but the Monte has 3" merged into a single 3.5" muffler while the Chevelle has dual 2.5" exhaust. Both have 700R-4's with 12-bolts. The Monte has 4.10's, and the Chevelle has 3.55's. The Monte weighs about 3500, the Chevelle 3400. The Monte has gone a best of 13.2 @ 103, the Chevelle a 13.9 @ 97.
The Monte has shamed more than a few know-it-all 5.0 Mustang guys who think the big boat can't scoot. Never could touch the ones that know their stuff, though.
