Sean - from what I have been told and observed:
SR series - milder cam..."S treetable"
R Series - radical cam ..."R acing"
SR TW series (Twisted Wedge cam) - inbetween SR and R (flat torque curve)
You can order any series with the Polished Component Package. I chose not too.

I've got the same engine as ekrupa2, but with the shiny stuff...which makes it even faster. :D
Leaves tons of room to work in the engine compartment, but the position of the alternator is very close on an SPF. :JEKYLHYDE

Doug, I think the chrome package adds, what, about 50HP? ;) |

Doug, I just had mine out recently (had to tear down the whole front half of the motor to fix a $1.00 dowel pin for the fuel pump eccentric...nice!) and it's not all that bad. Just use the right tools/extensions. The harder part for me was when I replaced the water pump while I was at it...the bosses on the new pump were different and I had to modify the spacers and/or use a few stainless washers as shims to properly align the alt pulley with the crank/water pump pulley(s).
Boy, some of the engines on this thread make you just sigh and make your d*** shrivel up as if you just jumped into a cold river. I'm thinking of deleting my photo post out of embarrassment. :LOL:

Minimum of 50HP! And it gives me something to shine when I point out the benfits of the "doohickey" and "whathamacallit" to my friends. |

Size difference may cause envy and make the d*** shrivel, but the mighty Windsor still has enough power to make anyone pucker up. :LOL: |

I agree. Even with an all-aluminum 482 and 601HP, those SOHC's with the fuel injection or Webers make me feel...uh...inadequate. :o
However, I hear there are some major renovations needed to make those puppies fit. |

Don't you dare. I love the racy look of your engine. I hope to achieve the same look at some time in the future. |
