Ron,
Since I sold my previous engine, your question as to what I am "having done to the engine" is not applicable. NOTHING.

This is a new engine being built. 427SO-MR-Tunnel Wedge Intake-Steel Crank-10:1 Compression-dual 4V and a TKO II.

Nothing spectacular. Hopefully a reliable cruiser with a little pep to it. It is being built almost exclusively with NOS parts except for the Intake, which was a EBay acquisition in excellent condition.
Everything else is brand new. It will be as if it was built back in the 60's with the added advantage of todays pistons/rings/cam technology and the electronic ignition we have been so spoiled with.

The rear end is a 3:54 , but the 5 speed TKO should smooth that out a little for a more reasonable milage. We'll see.
I was spoiled with the other motor at 14.5 mpg with dual 4Vs.
