Its funny, I don't know what the idle is...I have exactly the same tach that's in the real TA Javelin. Its a Stewart Warner mechanical tach driven off the distributor. There is no zero...it starts at 1,000 rpm and at idle it bounces all around. My guess is idle is 2K

Beautiful car Wayne , I also have been following you on facebook. Also friends with Dan Frazzini on a Mopar forum. He keeps teasing me with pictures of your car.

i have a new favorite AMC car. Your silver jav was my other favorite. I wonder if the original TA car made that much power?

I visit the Historic races each year at Road America, and there is nothing better than sitting at pit-out. watching the cars do final prep and warm up for the session or race.
There is NO better sound on the planet than the TA cars and the CAN-AM cars firing up, taking to the track. Those monsters sit at rough idle getting warm, then they blip the throttle, and it blasts to 6K in about a millisecond and settle back to idle just as quick. Youre car may sound more CAN-AM than Trans-Am with that wicked exhaust! Edited by 343sharpstick - Mar/07/2018 at 7:27am |

Here's a little short video of the Javelin after I got a few things sorted out. You can hear the exhaust a little better when I recorded it from a little distance...its so loud it overwhelms the microphone in the camera.

So you have a stock 360 bore, and a custom short stroke crank?

The block started out life as a 360 bore. The bore now is exactly 4.125 and the bore is 2.850. If my math is right, that's 304.7 cid.
