I agree with Barry's comment. When I started seeking out some decent TP stuff I was wanting to do something different than the
aluminum headed stuff everyone was building at the time. I wanted to use original Ford heads and intake. I found a set of TP heads that some told me were probably "junk". Brent sent them to Ray Shepherd and he fixed them. We went on to build 3 different iterations of that engine. I have to admit it was fun but also not cheap but none of this is and it was my first go around at this FE stuff. We ended up with an old iron headed TP
that makes some serious HP.
I'm sure we could have gotten to the same power level with a stroked 385 series for a whole lot less money but it wouldn't have any provenance to it and that is what I like most about it.
