ufo-lowI really DO need a bigger hammer!

Long story short; this is not the original engine. I have it, but it suffered a broken pushrod the last time I drove it, so it needs some work. This motor is a 2 bolt, 2 barrel Cleveland I built maybe 30 years ago. It pulled my E150 van around for several years, then was replaced by a stock built 351W when Florida brought back the emissions inspections. This one is mildly built - cc'd 9:1 compression, light exhaust port work, good valves, cobra jet cam, dual plane intake. I didn't know about the lifter bushings mod back then. My oil mod is a simple bypass tube from front to back; maybe helps, can't hurt. I put the air vents in front just so they would not be seen, then realized that plumbing them into the thermostat housing was the most direct solution.
