By the way, this is the second dealing I've had with Jeff Kauffman (Kauffman Racing Equipment) and as many of you know his customer service is second to none. He is taking delivery of all these parts, throwing in a few more parts I'm buying and shipping it all to me. Even before I decided to spend some more money with him, Jeff was willing to take delivery and get this shipped to me to help Michael and me out with this transaction since the seller lives somewhat close to his shop.

That will be killer motor when it's done. Please keep us all posted / updated on the progress

Good buy! I didn't think the 2.25/1.75 valves would work on a factory block bore?? Nice of KRE to help out.

Just an update because I said I would. A second baby and life going by fast, here we are a year later and I just got it back from the dyno! KRE opened up the chambers on the HiPorts to 80cc for a 10.7:1 compression ratio to be able to run 91 octane. Swapped out the victor intake for a port matched KRE Northwind to fit under a flat hood and we ended up with 608HP & 588TQ. I'm replacing my current 461 with unported KRE dports & stump puller cam (470hp&541tq). Wanted a strong reliable 600hp street engine for my '66 lemans and this combo nailed it. Comparing dyno sheets it makes identical power as my current 461 up to 4000rpm and then it gets fun from there averaging 543hp & 574 tq from 4000-6000 rpm, peak horsepower at 6100-6200 rpm.

I will be selling a few items from the original sale list posted by duke455.
I will make separate posts for those items.
Dominator Carb, Electric water pump, Milodon windage tray, Comp lifters, Butler stud girdles and valve covers pictured on engine, still need to find info on them and a few other items for pricing.
