Some of you commented on my other thread and in comments sent to me asked about the details on my engine. Here are some of the specs on it:

BBM cast iron FE block
BBM cylinder heads, as cast except for hand bowl blend and very minor port tweaks by Blair
RPM forged crankshaft, dimensionally prepped by Blair
Crower forged connecting rods - 6.625” length
Custom CP forged pistons - final compression ratio is about 11.5:1
Custom Total Seal rings

At 4.35” bore, the BBM cast iron block allows for more overbore capability for future rebuilds if needed.
Rotating assembly is internally balanced
