Thanks Jerry I will keep that in mind I was after 261’s but I got both of these engines for a song so figured I’d stick with 235 plan on doing the hot cam boring .060 over I don’t want to go to the max of .080 and run hot. I talked to Clifford he was trying to sell me on his whole setup with a single 4 barrel said 150hp bolt on but I really want the old school look of two single carbs. Checking rods and mains on the 216 here before it gets nice out and resealing front and rear main seals and oil pan gasket
