Re: New to me engine

This is my second 427td. The first one had a no name HEI that worked well. When I bought the truck the cam was partially rounded off and had low oil pressure (I didn't know it), the more I drove it the worse it got. I did a compression test and it failed. So I pulled it and stripped it down to find it needed a full rebuild and punched out. I had planned to have that one rebuilt until I came across the "new" one. I am using some parts from both engines. For instance the heads from my original engine had physically bigger exhaust ports for some reason though running the numbers they're supposed to be the same size. Not to mention the heads from my original engine had no carbon build up and the new heads had quite a bit. The intake from my original engine and most of the pulley system since I've already sand blasted and painted most of them.
