The new block for the vert arrived. 351C 4V Thought some of you "Old school" guys would like a look before she closed up.

Check out those "sewer pipe" sized intake ports ........................Makes you wonder about the current aftermarket small blcok heads............. If you need to keep the critters out of them, just run down to the local sporting good store for a few cans of tennis balls.................

Machinist dye. Paint it on and put a gasket on and trace the gasket with a metal scribe. Make it easy to see when gasket matching.

Must be very extensively, with the specs you listed, you've got 2 bbl open chambered heads. But the intake ports look to be 4 bbl sized now. Might have gone a tad overboard with that. The mild cam will help though.
