update. got a new heart for the scamp. picked up a 69 340 short block. the deck has already been machined +30, orings installed, and line bored and honed. the crank was also machined to +20. came with a high performance oil pump with adjustable pickup. the piston and rods that came with it wont work for what im wanting to do with the car but they are for sale on the forum here if someone is looking for a good set of full race rods and pistons.
