I hope it makes it to you as described. 11:1 seems pretty intense to have a blower manifold mounted on it. How did you find the engine?

The guy I bought it from was just thinking about the blower but stopped going forward with the idea. I stumbled upon it by accident.

Might be O.k. on alcohol..... not O.k. on gas.

It now makes sense he stopped building it, as he told me he feared detroying this expensive motor under continuous constant load (i.e. boat, but in a car, its a burst load). Never talked alchol or gas though.

Its been sitting this way rebuilt since 89, and he got it way before then out of a 69 camaro drag car north of denver. Looks like its an over the counter block.
