New engine for my 57 splitty. It's been built for torque rather than top end. 82mm Crank, 90.5 bore, 40 x 35.5 heads, ported and polished, engle 110 cam, stock ratio rockers, running 9:1 CR, Dell 40's, DTM and sidewinder exhaust. I'm hoping somewhere near 100hp at the wheels, should chuck my empty panel van along nicely.
Our old family friend, Wayne Engle, and many other retired electricians have come 'out of retirement' to help victims of the flooding in Cedar Rapids, Iowa last year get their homes re-wired and livable again.
