The engine beans are still cooking I have been working on the recipe and have some good leads for a chef. I suspect I'll be ready to serve some up soon.

The basics are still pretty much the same ... something with some decent power, runs well, does not leak or self-destruct.

- 302 Iron block
- AFR Aluminum heads
- AVIAID or Canton Oil Pan
- Roller cam (specs TBD)
- 650 cfm carb with 289 Hi-Po style air cleaner
- Mechanical fuel pump
- PCV setup
- Vintage '67 289 stamped steel valve covers
- Black distributor cap and wires
- A distributor gear that is compatible with the cam (don't want any surprises)
- Quicktime bell housing and external slave cylinder

Pretty basic stuff, and there are a lot of good options out there. I'll let you know when the beans are done !
Stroke it to 331!
