thanks for the questions....i spoke to the machine shop that did the work.....the block was bored .30 over then line honed, a polished steel crank was installed, the pistons are cast 10-1, the heads are hi-po, and have had a real nice porting and polishing job, the heads were milled, the old valves were removed a 3 angle valve job was done and a set of chevy 2.02/1.90 valves were installed along with new springs and push rods, i can not say what the cc volume of the heads are....the rear is a 3.31 posi, the tranny is a Ford Top Loader wide ratio, i am old school, i like the noisy valves and the crisp throttle response...i would like the motor to rev quicly to 6k...probably would not run much over that....i would like power to come on strong at about 3k rpm all the way up to 6-6.5k rpm... i don not know what the red line on the block is...maybe i need a whole new motor...what are the thoughts....thanks for the help
