It would be interesting to have a little more detailed information, such as the cam grind, overbore (if any), and if any work that was done on the heads.. The early 255's were rated at 110 HP, while the later ones were 125. If this engine is close to stock, those number seem to be right on. It's good to hear, as I was always disappointed with the numbers in JWL's book with a bone stock rebuilt 239.

I agree with Sal about the carburetor, except I'd use a 2G.
