Re: New Motor
Bill, the only thing you might consider is using some oval port heads instead of the 840's. For a street driven car the low end torque is much better. A good set of oval ports with a professional valve job will really make the motor fun. Keep the compression reasonable so you can utilize pump gas. You didn't say anyhing about what cam you have or might use on the rebuild. Lots of good stuff out there today depending on your budget. If you like solids, the L78 "163" unit is hard to beat. Good luck.
wilma Ps let me know if you need some oval port heads, I have a couple of sets in the shop.
