Feel free to pick my brain. I'm a Ford engine builder and have FE experience.

thanks for the offer. My initial thoughts are to go with vintage block & heads w/ a mechanical flat tappet cam. I'm really not looking for a monster HP engine. Just want strong enough internals so I can accelerate fully thru the gears when I feel like it.

Even 450 HP would probably be plenty.
