Hombre;
I built one some years ago, and the thing turn in to a monster, in a good way!!!
We basically just rebuilt the motor and put a performance cam in it, and it came to life.
This thing would smoke all four tire’s on asphalt .
When I say a cam, I don’t mean one of these high
revving cams.
This cam was for torque or towing/pulling.
If it was my motor I would have put some close chambered heads off a old Cleveland instead of the open chamber heads that were on it.
Then I would have put a new intake and carb
{ Holley } and the some headers.
The compression would have jumped up a couple
of points to around 10 to 1 the H.P. would have doubled from 200 to 400 something.
These engines have Lot’s and Lots of potential.
They just make GOBS and GOBS of H.P. and torque.
They are really great motors and realy come to life with a few changes. Kurt
