OK, I like it both an A body, and an F body chevy fan. So, how big is the mouse, and what is done to it?

If you were going to use cast heads, wouldn't a set of 461s work better than the later smog choked low compression heads?

At the time of the pics the engine was not making any noise. The battery is sitting on the passenger side upper A arm, the radiator cap is gone (and there is no coolant showing) A valve cover breather is missing, and only half of the brake lines are hooked up. Also there is no throttle cable hooked up

Tinascars, PM me if you need parts. I am guessing that you are doing the nostalgia bracket thing from the look of the cars, and that engine. I have 4 extra sets of the old vette fuelie "camel hump" heads (461 cast with big valves and smaller combustion chambers), and a lot of other old racing stuff.

Also, in one of the pics I think I see the nose of a 70 chevelle. If it is for sale or trade I would like to see a few more pics...(I have a big block with a dual throttle body injection set up and a muncie 4spd that needs a home)

Camaro eh? cool. Looks like it can perform well.. hopefully it does... drag racing must be a lot of fun, especially with some friends and all that...

by the way, welcome to SCF, the place for non-stop car posting stuff. and other things. which you wouldnt want to know about.

May just be the pic quality.
What track are you racing on? Those valve cover hold down studs will not pass inspection on many tracks. Is there anything done to the distributor? What is the final timing?
if it were me, I would turn the valves cover around, and vent into the collectors
