My first CMP was a Ford 12 cab. My engine builder was a specialist in high performance engines so while he was at it, he tweeked my rebuild a bit. I ended up with an engine decked, ported and poilshed etc that ended up well in excess of 100hp...

Tsk tsk tsk what a waste.....
We use 261 Chev truck engines that just bolt right in.... and you get 145 HP stock without even trying......
Mind you the rebuild cost was the same 3 grand with higher compresion pistons, shaved deck and balancing...... ...and we can reach the dizzy without breaking a sweat....!!!! Bowtie Bob

1. The original Chev engine is no good, so if you have one toss it & get a 261, 2. Even then they are only any good if you modify them, 3. Chev obviously went backwards with their V8. Ever tried to adjust the dizzy on a small block while looking at the timing marker? ... stick with the Ford V8! Thanks Boobie for supporting the Ford guy's arguments! Blue Oval Veined Howard! PS: Real men don't wear bow ties... nor do real trucks!
