I think that coffee table should be hooked up to the door bell Matt, perhaps a push button from a BA will do the trick!

I know someone who will run (rev) that lil 302 in for you. :evilsasmo

So you don't have a 347. A 347 is 4.030 bore and 3.4" stroke.

4.125" bore and 4.000" stroke makes 427.6ci, or, properly rounded, 428ci.

Hmmm if gaining 20cc of port gets you 33cfm, that'd put a CHI 185, ported to 205cc, at somewhere round 323cfm?

Oh yeah, and AFR's 225cc head only gives 325cfm on a 4.125 bore? Thats pretty lame :P

Matt has a 347... but i believe he has an aftermarket block in mind for his "big" motor...

There's also a Ford St in Berry as well as Yass (both NSW).

There is a new suburb in Canberra called Forde. Pity about the "e"!

Biggest dog would have to be called Edsel. Or maybe Holden.
