Chasing the Ghosts of LeMans - Thunder - Project 487 Super Snake

[Ripped]

Plan;
Send the heads out to a builder specializing in the porting of FE heads.
The head work should net 30-40 hp depending on cam.
Springs = go for a stiffer spring compatable with road racing upshifting & downshifting

Camshaft, might stay with the solid cam I have now. Might go custom grind.

Block = if the pistons, bores and bearings look good, then leave it alone.
If the pistons look bad = forged stroker kit
If the bearings look bad, switch the block for a 427 side oiler aluminum, 100 - 150 pounds lighter, with a better oiling system, suitable for road racing.
