Its the same motor in Crescent City,Ca you were posting about over on the Hamb last year, he wanted $3,000 for it. Comp Cams High Energy 252H part#: 61-232-4, milled head, bored .40 over, dual z28 springs, lumps from Tom at 12bolt, flat tops, balenced. It could use a larger cfm to perform, it's pulls good now but you can tell it's restricted and wants to run. It does get good mpg's and that was more of what I was looking for during the winter with my 75+ mile commute a day. This summer I will step into the 500 cfm range and see what happens. I have a couple different carbs to play around with.
