    I have finally shattered the 464 that I could not get to run right yesterday on the street. Now I am going to put the other 464 that I have on the stand in except this one has the 308s camshaft instead od the 408s. I hope that I can get son suggestions on this new motor before I put it back in the car. I will get the other one tore down tonight and see what come loose in it. To my personal opinion the car was way too violent out of the gate trying to turn too high right quick.

    The motor was put together last year and just would nit run like it was suppose to. It should have run at the least a 6:60 on motor. It was a .030 over with Ross 11:1 pistons and ported and polished 68 430 big port heads with studded bottom arp bolts 1000cfm barry grant silver claw, sp1 intake and a ta 408s camshaft in it. The car would run some 6:90's on its own but I think that the convertor was the hold back but now I will be going all fresh and new with this one. I want to see some high nine in my 3400 pound buick regal.
