One highly skilled individual that built those. I spent my career as a welder/ fabricator and could never match this man’s talent.

I think he recently posted that he’s sold out and wasn’t planning to be restocking soon.

Unscrupulous on sellers part, to not mention anything about the hole in block and sub standard repair.

I purchased a McLeod unit from modern drive line . After fighting it for a year and pulling trans several times I spoke to modern driveline. Bruce said. Ya we had a lot of problems with those and no longer sell them. If you don’t like it talk to McLeod. They were equally helpful. Ended up giving it away and going external . Unless they have improved. I would not recommend McLeod.

As usual. Spot on real world input from Rory. I’ve followed his comments on here for awhile and find his input to be of great value .

Had George and his son build a boss 302 strokerfor me a few years a go. Went to his home/shop and picked it up after Columbus swap meet. Was a real treat to meet and visit with them. And the engine has performed very well

Update..Looks like Jay and a couple others may have identified the problem..It appears the gas in bowls was overheating. I upped octane. Made a heat shield and installed under carb. Insulated fuel line. Reinstalled distributor with pertronix. Reinstalled factory 735 Holley. Set timing at 12 degree. Running fine now. Thx to all who offered advice.

Update. Tried numerous suggestions. None seemed to help. Pulled second rebuilt 735 off and installed a ebock 600 off another engine. Other than a hesitation when I jump on throttle it ran fine for a good hour today. Took home and pulled unilite I installed last weekend and put pertronix conversion dist back in. It started acting up again. Not sure I had pertronix timed properly. May reinstall it again next weekend to confirm that its an issue. Thx

No timing chain was replaced 10 years a go when stock cam was replaced. Only about 1000 miles on it.

Tried a few suggestions this morning since temps are cooler. As usual when accelerating hard it fell flat. Fuel pres remained at 6 psi. Got out and popped gas cap, no vacuum . Hooked 12 volt jumper to coil, no change. After initial falter as soon as I would try to accelerate it would just die. Limped it home surging at low rpm.
