: : Okay, life with my Mav just got kicked into high gear...
: : Timing chain is shot..big time. The car barely runs. So, my

: : So, naturally, I have a few questions:
: : 1. A freind of mine has an AOD tranny that he just removed from his car.
: : This tranny was rebuilt within the last two years. Besides the required
: : aftermarket shifter (for overdrive), and shortening the driveshaft
: : is there anything else required to make this work.
: : 2. What would be better, a set of early heads reworked or a set of late
: : model 5.0 heads? Can a set of basically stock (port & polish etc)
: : '70ish 302 heads flow with a decent cam and 600cfm carb?
: : Here's what I am considering:
: : Holley 600 (model 4160 modified to a 4150 (almost...))
: : Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake
: : Edelbrock Performer RPM cam & lifters (or Motorsport 270 int, 280 exh
: : duration and 472 int, 484 exh lift)
: : MSD 6AL ignition system
: : 9.0:1 compression
: : TCI Rattler or Fluidamper
: : 3.55 rearend
: : 2 1/4" exhaust with Dynomax mufflers
: : Any advise would be welcome and appreciated
: : P.S., if any one with Desk Top Dyno feels
: : up to it, I would appreciate know about
: : what to expect from this engine
: : Thanks, Brian
