That was my old Webb mill (Bridgeport knockoff). Loved it, but it was too big for my current shop. As for the engine, it's a 460 with the D0VE 429 heads, which at that point in time were mildly ported. During the second rebuild years later, the heads went on a SuperFlow head dyno and were fully ported and the exhaust ports raised. Terrific flow numbers. It also had a Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet and roller rockers. Bottom end was Ford forged rods; shotpeened and side beams ground, forged full floater pistons ...all balanced, etc. Dual plane intake with a Holley massaged by the Carb Shop that flows around 950 cfm. Mallory Unilite and 2" headers. Tractor motor ...low rpm and lotsa grunt.
