Thanks Doug ... Yeah ... yeah, I'm working on them. About time to send another care package
. The guys at ERA are busy as you can see, and as other cars are shipped off to their happy new homes, it puts me that much closer!
The engine beans are still cooking
I have been working on the recipe and have some good leads for a chef. I suspect I'll be ready to serve some up soon.
The basics are still pretty much the same ... something with some decent power, runs well, does not leak or self-destruct.
- 302 Iron block
- AFR Aluminum heads
- AVIAID or Canton
Oil Pan
- Roller cam (specs
TBD)
- 650 cfm carb with 289 Hi-Po style air cleaner
- Mechanical fuel pump
- PCV setup
- Vintage '67 289 stamped steel valve covers
- Black distributor cap and wires
- A distributor gear that is compatible with the cam (don't want any surprises)
- Quicktime bell housing and external slave cylinder
Pretty basic stuff, and there are a lot of good options out there. I'll let you know when the beans are done !
