Well, it been a while since I checked in. We got the 41 road worthy (sort of). Had an alignment done and off we went. We have been driving it around on back roads to work out the kinks.
The engine was not performing the way we expected. After hours of revising timing, vacuum advance, EFI settings, etc. without any luck we took it to a tuning shop and had it ran on a chassis dyno so they could tune it... A pic of how it looks on the way to the tuning/dyno shop.
Come to find out, we had missmatched some parts. The intake and cam were too big and not playing well with the rest of the engine (ie power pack heads, etc.) I can post the dyno results if anyone is interested (dissapointing of course).
We decided to make a change... We pulled the engine and tore it down to the short block. Kind of glad we did since we found that one of the roller tip rockers had a broken pin. That was a surprise.
We changed the power pack heads, cam, lifters and intake to basically an Edlebrock #2022 Kit (whole upper end) with some minor differences and added a set of full roller rockers. It is about ready to go back in.
Hope to get it running again in a few days. Based on the tuning guy, we should see a significant difference. Hope that is true...
We will see what happens when it hit the road again...
