You add pix from their link. That's how I found that tandem. click on the link that says "view full size image", then copy that link. I found you a grey one:

But when are you gonna get started? I dont hear it running yet. On another note, a soopercharger will help bring in some lower end of the power band of the big ol 4V heads.

I'm aware that there's some good W heads finally out there. I'm thinking cost, kool factor, and performance. A high flow set of heads is gonna run nearly $2k. Out here, I can snag a set of 351C 4V heads for 2-500. You could also snake a deal on some used hi po aftermarket heads too. Ya never know.

You said you had one in your garage or barn or something. Start there. For the top of the line, the CHI heads will deliver. A little spendy tho. You can get some remanned heads if you do a search. Also try the old standby: ebay & craigslist. Actual power numbers? Hard to say. I may venture at 4-500 at the crank. A 5.7 hemi makes 345hp.

Keep the block! A roller cam is a good power maker. Keep that and the distributor. That saves a lot of kash. I'll have to find a particular cam to use. Things change just a little with a roller cam. They hold the valves open longer,and make more power, and in a broader rpm range than an equal duration standard cam. Dump the intake, injecotrs & all the sensors, and the heads. Somone's bound to buy that off of you. Save the lifters too.

Have a gander at that kam. It was either that, one from Trick Flow, or the Edelbrock performer rpm. All pretty equal, and make power up to 6500. Of course, all 3 have the proper idle. Here's the other 2:

Edelbrock 2281 - Edelbrock Performer RPM Hydraulic Roller Camshafts - Overview - SummitRacing.com
Oh, I found a flow chart for the heads. A stock Cleveland 4V head flows about 300cfm on the intake, and 180 on the exhaust, both at .500 lift. Of all the aftermarket W heads, none can do that without some fancy port job. Those that do, flow a little better on the exhaust side, which is the Clevage's downfall. Summit has some nice iron heads for around $1300. But...it's just not that aesthetically special(visual appeal).
