Same deal with a friend in Minnesota who is reproducing Ford SOHC parts.
Very Nice Parts but 1960s tech.
The Boat People, Mercury Marine will sell you a properly designed LS based
DOHC Engine if you have the cash. State of the art design, not 1960s design.
AND 7.0L too. You could claim it as a 428 engine.
