Have A Nice Day!
The engine was designed 60 years ago! A few things have been learned since then. Enlarge the center cam journal groove for one. DuraBond cam bearings have recently been redesigned to improve Y top end oiling. C2AE rods were an improvement over the original EBU. C2AE blocks were an improvement over EDB. Longer main cap bolts were an improvement over earlier shorter ones. ARP bolts are an improvement over stock rod bolts. Forged pistons are an improvement over the original cast pistons. Forged HD cranks were an improvement over cast cranks. B 4V intakes are better than earlier A's. ..........
