I haven't updated this, for a very long time.

I went a different direction on it, regarding the engine, when Jay offered his TP heads. I found a 427 Marine short block and had it bored to 4.280, with a offset ground FT 390 crank, to a 4.115 or 473 CI.

I just got the heads back from Blair. He did his valve job on them and I have to clean up the chambers, blend the throat, into the port and give him the final cc to order the pistons. I also bought one of Jay's intake adapters for the TP heads and will make a TR intake for it, similar to the Weiand 351c, with 4500's on it, in a same manor as the 351c.
