My truck runs and drives but I'm collecting parts for my engine rebuild. It's going to be a mild street engine in my F3. Looking for good torque. I have 32" tall tires, a 3.73 rear gear and the T98 4 speed.

Walt DuPont fixed me up with an EAB cam and I have a set of EAB heads. I have no idea what the bore is or if the crank has ever been turned.

I'm running a stock Holley 94, stock single exhaust and I modified an old Accel dual point with vacuum advance. I don't mind running a small 4bbl if needed and might go dual exhaust just for the sound?

I have JWL's book but, I'm staying closer to stock. Bigger bore and more compression is my basic plan. IF.......my stock crank needs too much work or replacement it seems a new Eagle is the way to go based on reading posts here. Same price for longer stroke so any recommendations?
