I am helping a neighbor in the build of a 65 retro mod Mustang . He pulled this engine from it 10 years ago and shelved it . Well we swap some things back and forth and I asked him about what he was doing with the heads he said nothing so I went down and got them .

Well they end up being D00E-C heads which some say are 70 s . But one thing good is they are 58 CC heads bringing in a 9.5-1 compression ratio . So he calls me back and asked If I want the engine and I say sure , It ends up being a 69 date code . The only bore I measured was dead on 4 inch .

The rods show where machine work was done , so maybe the bottom end was balanced which would be a plus for me .

Ok so what should I do with the head , valve train to make it better . I will be inserting a Comp 351 grind 268 H cam . It has a mild 456 lift with a 112 degree lode separation .
