My plan is an engine with following option: 950cfm carb, have already new MSD distributor at home, Merlin III, L19 bolts, maybe Crane Severe Duty Hippo Lifters (Hi Pressure Oiling), SFI Harmonic Balancer, SFI Flex Plate, Powermaster Hi-Torque Mini Starter.

Shafiroff is located right near where i work, they have a great reputation & build some serious stuff, also in my area are some well known others in the car & boat racing area, including motors for many cars at the riverhead racetrack check out JACK MERKEL Motors & Mc BETTS
