Yeap gotta agree with Tom. Then you'll need a good place to tune it all. I know Modular depot has tuned a SC one, and I bet MPH wouldn't have a problem with it.

Bill, what exactly is the advantage to swapping out to the Continental (FWD DOCH) engine internals? As far as I know, they're still all cast components, and a nodular iron cranks, just like the Mark VIII's? As far as I remember, only the Cobra's got the steel cranks.

www.karcraft.com has some decent deals on low mile stuff. i would go with a mach1/aviator motor for the money now. or maybe hold off until the new explorer 3v's start hitting the used market

i cant get to the website now...whats am i doing wrong?
