Von's Transmissions

I can’t believe my son found and bought me this NOS grill for my 65 Tempest found it in Sweden and had it shipped it will definitely be a beautiful addition to the Tempest project thank you Brian Neal and Susan Bearden Love you guys so much

Well it’s official we have numbers 495 Cubic inches 15 hits on the Dyno it’s a beast. best of 714 hp 666 feet pound of torque. it was making 619 feet pound at 3500 RPM I think it’s a boy. crazy how efficient the high ports are it like 28 total timing I was very surprised at that

Finally got to light a fire in the beast here’s the initial start up I don’t think it made A whole revolutions and it was running no drama like the TV shows love it when they fire up like that
