All the expensive work has been done - just add your choice of cam and
carburetor to make a mild street engine or track terror. B&A Ford and
Robert Yates sell these things to dirt track racers who twist them up
pretty good - B&A claims the intake and bottom end are good to 8000 RPM
if your cam and valvetrain can take it. I was planning to use a custom
ground solid lifter cam from Sig Erson (244/246, .600/.600, 106 lobe)
which should have made good power from 4500 to 6500. You could use a
B303 Ford cam or Comp 272 if you didn't want something that radical.


Reason I'm selling: I convinced my wife a 525 stroker big block would
. provide more room to hang laundry.
