stock rods, run of the mill heads, standard parts. You could build a 400 block with cast aftermarket crank, mid 70's heads and cheap pistons just like him for about same price or less without paying shipping. A friend bought one in 1989 for his 66 GTO that he had a rod knocking 389 in, got him back on the road, wasn't a real ball of fire, ran 14.60's but motor wasn't advertised to be anything real special either. Lasted him about 13,000 miles before spinning a rod bearing but he beat on it like a rental car though too, fwiw, Smitty
