Rick,
I'm the third owner, I have what information was passed on to me. Engine was bored .020
over, has a 428 crank, Reed cam. Duration 282 In. 292 Ex., 250 and 259 @ .050.
Valve lift with 1.76 RR .597 and .616. Lobe centers 112. I have only put about 1200 miles on it so far. The MSD box limiter was set to 6300. Although the car is not unfamiliar with a drag strip (by original owner), I just want a spirited, fun car. I had no idea there would be so many choices in heads (including repairing present ones, if they can be salvaged). The good news is the block, crank, pistons, rods, and cam are all in good shape. Engine builder is out of work this week, will be talking with him next week.
What I did learn in trying to decide what to do is that I have a lot to learn! Thanks to all who have replyed,
Gene
