So..ah..Zip...er...are you putting that engine in that bugeye?

Anyway. I decided to have a short block built locally by Engine Factory, to my specs. Mild cam, 9.5 pistons. I took my time and built it up from there. Again, with reliability in mind, I did not want a radical engine. You really don't need one in these cars.
I used AFR 185's , Performer manifold, 650 speed demon, roller rockers and MSD dist and ignition.

I've got 15k on it and no problems. I've also had it at some open track events.

These crate and turnkey engines are nice but there are always a few parts I don't want and would swap out for other brands, etc. So I decided to assemble my own. I'm not sorry.
