Tom:
Nope, this is only the 620 HP version. I had planned to use the 720 on my 63 " Resto-Mod " coupe, but lately I am seriously considering another 620 because of the low compression, and hanging a " ProCharger " on it for a bit more fun.
Mac:
Sadly there is no room for a forth one.
JohnZ:
Sure does, kinda like the one we saw together at the show. Mine however is using the aftermarket carbs from Barry Grant, because of the crazy pricing people are hanging on originals, I couldn't afford the factory setup. I must admit however, this type of build is not a fun thing to have to do with a tall deck. Had to rework the manifold, modify the distributor mounting position, etc. etc.
68Roadster:
As it has been said many times before, the only difference is in the size.

Are you using the large cap distributor that came with the engine?
How did you "modify the distributor mounting position"?
What other modifications did you make to the manifold?

Yes Charles, I was able to keep the original, GM supplied, MSD distributor. For a complete resumé of the necessary mods, check back this evening for the details, and a few pics.

The BG carbs look great. I think that a blow through Procharger is just what you need.

King Ray (photo above in post #5) has a stock GM intake manifold, with Moroso tall-deck spacer plates, machined on the edges to exactly match the contours of the edge of the manifold - unless you really look for it, you don't notice them. Also used an MSD #8547 distributor, which has an adjustable sleeve to set its height (designed for a Donovan tall-deck application). Also needed to change the oil pan, as the 572 comes with a truck pan - the sump at the front is too deep; used a Milodon pan instead. Stainless Works custom-made the headers.

Are the header flange openings actually "D" ports?
