A motor - as you know - is all about the TOTAL COMBO of parts.... and the stated goal.
I wanted a very torquey STREET ROD motor for a heavy car - The Nomad - which weighs in at over 4000 #'s..... has an automatic - and I wanted a fun to drive motor with some power. This motor kicks azz.... puts your butt hard in the seat at very low rpms and pulls like a freight train until you lift. But idles well and keeps the A/C humming...
It's FAR superior to the 427 SBC with the big 220cc Canfield heads that was in it before. As in night and day.
