using stock pistons i have got new rings for them iam thinking about elec ignition... i vernier'd my crank and pots and found the following
mains: 2.481
B/ends: 2.134
Bores: 3.210
the data plate shows it to be 010 on the mains and b/ends and 030 on the pistons so what that means in old money i dont know hahahaha i think its an early ford unit.
i will be putting ARP head studs in for sure having sheared another two today.... luckily my pals easy outs seem to have done the trick but make no bones about it the head studs in mine are like toffee !!!! further enforces in my mind why they should be changed or upgraded when building an engine....
