Excaliber,
I have heard the recomendation before, "trade that block for a better one". This block was aquired by a family member in the late 60's, along with the intake, crank, rods, pistons etc. The intent was to build a high performance drag car. The parts never got assembled and never even been hot. Now I have the parts and the car and I am want to keep some of the tradition and spirit of the car/engine. Though I could have traded the parts and bought probably a nicer, higher performing engine I wanted to keep some "family tradition". Now that I am to this point I am unsure anout proceeding with drilling for hydraulic lifters or go with solid/flat tappet cam.
Thanks for opinions!
