It turned out to be super low mileage build that just sat. I pulled oil pan, intake, and valve covers. Forged crank, H-beam rods, forged pistons (part # depending on actual chamber size is 9.7 to 10.1’ish), Edelbrock RPM intake & cam, good oval port heads and so many other unexpected parts. I refitted bearings, oil pump, timing chain etc and added the Holley Sniper EFI. It’s a beast, for an ole truck 🤣

Ok.... The info sounds familiar so I probably did read it here. My BBC in the RetroRod is similar in build nature but it was built w/a solid flat tappet cam (this was around early '90) w/ported ovals that flowed what the aftermarket Merlins did @ the time. It was a decent low buck deal).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
