I was hoping to find some pics of when I took the Valve Covers and oil pan off. I’ll have to do some digging, but in a nutshell it’s a 72cc E-head roller cam engine. Nice top end all the valvetrain and everything is virtually new. The RPM manifold. Cam specs unknown. But obviously it’s not going to be some 214/224 pony cam.
I’m no expert, but the bottom end looks really nice. All new eagle rotating assembly, their good stuff. Keith Black pistons. They even drilled and tapped for 4 bolt mains. Again, all new.
So I guess that the obvious choice is to sell the top end and use the money to get some nice semi performance iron heads with just the D-port logs. Back to flat tappet cam? I’ll use the factory ‘68 intake and quadrajet that I’m running. I have a couple of cams in stock, a Summit 2801 and the Melling equivalent.
Thoughts?
With all of the luck I’ve had with this car in the past year, I want to finally have an engine that I know what’s been done to it and what’s put into it.
