$1,500 plus MINIMUM for the best after market hydraulic roller set up MIGHT get you close to 6,500 rpm. Cam, lifters, retainers, springs, etc.
A flat tappet set up costs a FRACTION of that, will deliver more horse power, turn higher rpm's and live a long life on the street. WITH a single naturally aspirated carb, wet sump and all that other "junk" in an antigue design from the 60's. Commonly known as a "Cobra". Just keeping the faith baby!  |
Ahhh... Retro Mut's rearing his flat tappet head again. 
By 6500 a stroked FE is done anyway, at least it should be.
I do agree though, a SFT has it's place.. (in your car)
