Yes, I would look closer. If they're on the dull side alot and need maintenance because they don't hold their shine for very long, then you may have magnesium Halibrands.

And as Chas will tell you, they're alot of hard work and a PITA. So, he thinks you should trade me straight across for my Trigos, unless they've been clearanced on the backspacing for the ERA rear end. Then I can't use them.

BTW, here's a wonderful book written by one of the best FE engine builders in the USA and he frequents here alot.

Amazon.com: How to Build Max-Performance Ford FE Engines (Performance How to) (9781934709153): Barry Rabotnick: Books

Brent is another great engine builder, but he hasn't written a book.....yet. Not likely soon either, since he's expecting.
