Default Re: I'd like to start a new thread on the components we choose for an engine build

I've done 4 FH motors 2 NOS 59L blocks and 2 8BA's. I've followed a pattern for all 4. 3 5/16th bore with Ross pistons, 4 inch Merc cranks, Max 1 cams with Johnson's. Everything balanced. Offenhauser heads and 3 had Offenhauser super dual intakes with 94's and one 8BA had a Roadrunner blower with the bigger truck carbs. The 59 L's came with a mild factory relief and I did nothing to the 8BA's. All of them had my 409 water pump kits and machined timing covers with Bubba converted Chevy distributors. They were backed up by my S10 T5 conversion kits. I just sold my last French block and Merc crank as I decided the expense was more than I wanted to spend at this stage in life
