Final Specification of the engine was:
- We sourced a very good block, had it fully sonic tested and bored and stroked it to 393 cubic inches.
- The existing heads were completely rebuilt and modified to a customised adjustable valve train/BOSS spec.
- We used an Aviad gated oil pan and pick up.
- Everything inside the engine was replaced for brand new Ferrea/Comp Cam/Scat/Probe/Lunati components except the engine block and the cylinder head bodies.
- Holley 770 cfm Street Avenger carb.
- MSD Distributor and 6A ignition box.


Given that my whole engine bay has been smoothed and painted, I decided in the end to go low profile with the engine. My transmission is already lightly polished so we went with a silver block, silver heads, polished rocker covers, inlet manifold and air filter set up. Every hose on the engine is Aeroquip with the ubiquitous blue and red anodised fittings. Red Dizzy and black leads. I can't wait to see how it all looks hooked up to that 180-degree system.
