Be Nice if I could have some help here Pete, gota keep these old engines runnin. I'm not capable to build an engine and post pics and videos. All My grandchildren have moved on.Jere's my suggestions. In JWLs book he has the output of the stock 239ci engine at 150 lbs of torque @ 2,000, and 80 hP @ 3000.
Boring the block to 3 5/16 will add 19ci and aprox 10ft lbs of torque Plus one point in cR angle milling the head .07- will also increase Cr by one point. The EAB cylinder head has 74cc chamber volumn wnd will give the 258CI engine aprox 7.7 CR all this will work verywell with the stock Load a matic ignition. And the engine will look as stock as the day it came from the factory.
