Starting work, in between working on the E21's, on our 65 Malibu Wagon - (Estate)

Building a large journal 327 CuIn (5.4lt) four bolt main. Heads are old 462 castings with lots of work 2.02" intakes and 1.62" ex valves, porting, 7/16" screw in studs and Isky valve springs and retainers. With all the drag racing going on in the Netherlands I am sure some of you know these parts. More updates to come.

Cast iron V 8's :crazy

Just in case you think I forgot this is an E21 forum that is a 2.0lt M20 out of our 320-6 behind the chevy muscle.

TopCat nice video, I seem to remember seeing posters/pictures of Cameros and Novas being racing in Europe - maybe old BTCC or something like that?

That Camaro is heavy in the turns but has the power on the front straight. Hard to believe they raced them in the same class? Thanks loved watching.
