What do you have under the hood? Your CAR'S hood!!!

Sean - from what I have been told and observed:

SR series - milder cam..."S treetable"
R Series - radical cam ..."R acing"
SR TW series (Twisted Wedge cam) - inbetween SR and R (flat torque curve)

You can order any series with the Polished Component Package. I chose not too.

I've got the same engine as ekrupa2, but with the shiny stuff...which makes it even faster.

Leaves tons of room to work in the engine compartment, but the position of the alternator is very close on an SPF.

Doug, I think the chrome package adds, what, about 50HP?

Doug, I just had mine out recently (had to tear down the whole front half of the motor to fix a $1.00 dowel pin for the fuel pump eccentric...nice!) and it's not all that bad. Just use the right tools/extensions. The harder part for me was when I replaced the water pump while I was at it...the bosses on the new pump were different and I had to modify the spacers and/or use a few stainless washers as shims to properly align the alt pulley with the crank/water pump pulley(s).

Boy, some of the engines on this thread make you just sigh and make your d*** shrivel up as if you just jumped into a cold river. I'm thinking of deleting my photo post out of embarrassment.

Minimum of 50HP! And it gives me something to shine when I point out the benfits of the "doohickey" and "whathamacallit" to my friends.

Size difference may cause envy and make the d*** shrivel, but the mighty Windsor still has enough power to make anyone pucker up.

Anyone paint their engine black? I'd like to see some pics if you did............

I agree. Even with an all-aluminum 482 and 601HP, those SOHC's with the fuel injection or Webers make me feel...uh...inadequate.

However, I hear there are some major renovations needed to make those puppies fit.

Don't you dare. I love the racy look of your engine. I hope to achieve the same look at some time in the future.
