I am buying all new seats, pistons, rings, rods, valves, springs, keepers, guides and new babbits. I will have a new crankshaft and camshaft. Deck the head and block if needed. It will be a brand new engine even though it was first built Oct. 17, 1929.

good decision. Its easy to spend the same amount band aiding an engine together, but far more rewarding to rebuild it properly. If you are willing to spend the money, Bill Stipe's cams will make a huge difference in performance, especially if in conjunction with a mildly high compression head. The engine in my sedan was rebuilt with balanced crank, Police head, larger intake valves and a re ground cam by a noted cam grinder, but when I replaced that cam with Stipes 330, the power curve really improved. It was well worth the cost.
