awsome

i dont heard about 428 engine,is it rare engine?

[firechicken76]

they only made them from 1967-1969. They were only put into heavy cars, such as the grand prix. the gto, firebird, tempest didnt get them. their power ranged from 370hp-390hp from the factory, they also share the same design as the 400 so all the parts (heads, cam, intake etc..) is innerchangable. as well as any pontiac engine from 326-455.

[nachomax]

engine sounds nice... did you do any headwork to those 670s? How high is your compression? I have a 455 with 1969 #16 heads and run dished pistons to keep compression around 9.2.

[firechicken76]

yes, the heads are ported, compression ratio was 11.3:1. I was running premium with some race gas mixed in. I was going to run 16's but the set I had was to rusted and couldnt be fixed.

thanks :D
