Also has lemans rods & ARP bolts with 428 crank externally balanced. Clevite bearings with ferret comp stainless valves , isky valve springs , Manly spring retainers and locks , Aviad road race baffled oil pan, with McLeod aluminum flywheel and Hayes 11 inch clutch and pressure plate. - my question is should the lack of screw in plugs be an issue ? Could it be a service or truck block ? Could it be a center oilers drilled for side bolts ? I’m going to take a ‘flyer ‘ on the car and sell my Unique. Any ideas about the motor. Thanks and SORRY FOR THE LONG POST ! |
Just reading again.
7 angle seats with a dual plane intake?
Disappointed he can't give you the camshaft details, other than it is a solid flat tappet.
I don't know the guy, I don't care what any "spec sheet" says, I would actually rather see the engine in pieces.
Saves me pulling it apart, which I would eventually do anyhow.
