I like to build "sleepers"- - - -engines that look original on the outside, and have a wheelbarrow full of newer (and usually less expensive) internal parts. For instance, a 250+ cubic inch "216" with lightweight aluminum pistons, full pressure connecting rod bearings, electronic ignition, and a camshaft for a 261 engine. The engine looks completely original from the outside. I'm a little crippled up from a motorcycle wreck 12 years ago, but I think I could outrun anybody who tries to GIVE me a Pertronix system!
