on dave engine? if he build s it may have alum rods . so would of a engine of that years late 60s . the new engine will have a roller . they had rollers . crank i am thinking will be a used nascar part ? but steel . so a good old steel crank re work ? about the same here. old block re work main caps / girdles .by the time you find a old block clean it machine it is not much more for the dart block and will take a beating better then a so/so block then seen god know what . same with the heads RHS iron heads less the 600 bare that flow very good. with old heads iron that need alot of work to flow and $$ way way more money just ask a class racer how much they spend on old junk iron heads to get numbers out of them . so i do not see two engines just one that is better one .price to build a engine like this will not cost any more then a in the good old day engine now . i knew guys with the good old day engines and they were sent out to the big shop for work and had heads work to less then a inch of there life and much $$$Last edited by pat mccarthy; 12-21-2010 at 11:51 PM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
