Jimmy are you going to do the oil passage drilling hoover mod on that engine?

I am going to have the block full flowed to run an external oil cooler and filter, if that is what you are asking. The engine will be a first rate professionally assembled and balanced engine built to put out 180 Hp. Once the engine is fully disassembled I will know what we have that can be used again. So far the engine appears to have a set of nice heads. The rest to come when my guy gets to working on the engine. As I have said, I have a new 1 5/8" A-1 sidewinder exhaust being shipped to the builders shop for this engine. I have decided to go with new 44 IDF Weber carbs and sold the 48 IDA's yesterday. The 44's will be shorter and therefore make more room for velocity stacks and proper height air cleaners. My guy tells me 44's are the correct size. He said I could get 15 or so additional HP with the 48 IDF carbs but at the cost of some low and midrange power and drivability. So I will listen to the expert and go with the 44's.
