It is a 428 bored to fit according the parts list the seller sent to me, see my thread start.

But we decided last week to rebuild my 4Bolt Cleveland with mech roller cam and roller lifters ( crane 528371 and 44570-16), new oil pump and canton pan. The block, heads, Eagle H-beam rods and Sealed Power Pistons can be used again.

It should make a bad combo as it was before...

The season is comming up here an i will be prepared It would take too much time to adapt the FE now, cutting and welding new headers, adapt the tremec and so on before May.

Because of my job i'm on business trips to BMW Engineering Centre and 5and6-series-plant for future projects, 3-4 days a week, the whole year, and have just the weekends left.

Therefor, the switch to FE is now planned for winter this year maybe spring next year.

New ideas are: Pond short block, Edelbrock heads and all the parts bought in the US and assembled here in Germany.

So thanks a lot for all your input.

I'll be back
