I have a 63 center oiler 427 tp. Lunati 40510, weisco massaged 12.5 to 1. Holley 830, msd6al, msd billet. I went easy on the cam, and I am glad I used my limited restraint. I have it in a 54 ford sedan, Tko 5-spd, 9" 4.3's. I took it to the local Burger King the other night and a vintage crowd enjoyed the fact that they had never seen one in the flesh. So there ya go instant celebrity. I followed the shim this, block off that in regard to oiling, instruction supplied by S-A design Pat Ganahl. I idle it at 1300 it will idle slower, but the oil pressure is to low. Hot at idle it has about 30 lbs. Above 5000 75lbs. I am working on getting to run a little cooler. Certainly not taking out any timing. Bigger more powerful Fan. This is a really strong motor. I am ready for the Mustang's with the blow boxes.
