And that was printed just before the new 429/460s came out.  As one who owned a '56 Fairlane with Y Block, then bought a new 1966 Mustang, I never heard a FE called a "Big Block" Ford. Every body bragged on their 352HP, 390/401, 406, 410, 428 or 427 by engine size.  It was not until the 429 came along in the Thunderbird/LTD/Torinos that the Big Block designation stuck.  Just saying.   Joe-JDC

Neat build.  That camshaft should idle like a stock CJ.  How did the intake manifold fit the block and heads?  Joe-JDC

On the tunnel wedge, if you open it up to the MR gasket size it will promptly lose 20 lbft torque.  A slight clean up of the flashing but not opening up the port will net only a few hp.  BTDT and lost because the Ford TW flows 380-390 cfm as cast.  The TFS TW flows over 400 cfm as cast.  Joe-JDC

This is the tie bar over the side posts.  It clears a F-150 Super Crew with hood open.  12' ceiling.  Joe-JDC

This kinda got off topic, but my other fast car story is my '70 Shelby GT-500 going to Bonneville.  My F-I-L was a WWII disabled Veteran who lost his left hand to a grenade from the enemy.  My inlaws flew out to Utah where I was stationed at the time, and he wanted to visit Bonneville to see the salt.  I took him in the Shelby, and as we were driving along, he casually asked how fast would this car go.  It has a 140 speedometer, and there were no posted speed limits back then, so I said, lets find out.  When you leave Salt Lake City, you drive towards Wendover NV and the last 46 miles are nearly as straight as an arrow.   I slowly stepped up the speed to 120, and the front end settled down and felt solid, so I pushed it on up until the speedometer was touching the 140, and my F-I-L held his arm with his right hand and leaned over and watched the needle, and then said, "That is fast enough".  I pushed it on a bit and it hit 153 mph, just to see if it would go faster.  When we got to Bonneville, he ran around the car on the salt and took a movie picture of the salt and laughed like a little kid.  It was one of the best memories I have of him.  He died a short time later from a massive heart attack.  Anyway, the Shelby had the AA camshaft, adjustable rocker arms, aluminum intake, headers, tweaked carb, re-curved distributor, and deep sump oil pan.  I have always wondered just how fast it could go with modern heads, camshaft, and different gears.  Those were the days when we were young, foolish, and not scared of anything.  Joe-JDC

You can change the weights which have different shapes, change the springs to control the rate of advance, or bend the tabs to increase the spring tension, also.  Lots of ways to limit the rate or total amount of advance for street.  Joe-JDC

Is that the same as a glove box?    Joe-JDC
