Oh, I am sorry, I meant the Pistons (forged) and rings were replaced, crank, Dove supports. Some sort of "multi discharge" box and super coil with electronic ignition. I could not write that fast so did not get the name. The heads are polished, and intake is 2.090 and exhause was 1.75"

I was overwhelemed with the data so I did not get names down on paper... When I see the car this weekend I will get that data.

On an engine like this, outside of fluid and filter changes.... what kind of periodic maintenance am I looking at? ie: valve adjustment, timing, carb adjustment and cleaning etc.

I suspect that is all a function of amount of driving and type of driving. I have not owned a big block Ford since (gasp 1966) when I had a Galaxie 500XL convertible with a 427.

It used to pass most everything on the road but a gas station.

Thanks Guys!
