Tommy, looks like this thread has been ressurrected, I haven't seen it for awhile. Have you found a suitable swim platform yet? I reread your post and see that you have a small block in it. This is unrelated to your current needs but if you need some more speed (like I have to ask

) I have some small block goodies still in hibernation here at the shop. Sportsman heads, 400SBC/ short block, cams, roller rockers, MSD ignition, intakes, carb etc. Let me tell you, when I went from the 350 to the modified 400SBC it never left me without a grin on my face! If I remember correctly, the dyno sheet said 400+ ft/lbs. torque @ 3800RPM. Anyhow, hope you find something usable.
Sincerely,
