I might cry

I'd posted the engine specs before and everyone was at a loss. I am a mechanic with my interprovincial Red Seal my dad has been a mechanic for 30 years an has an automotive and heavy duty ticket and together we havn't been able to make this thing run. I had it at one performance shop also who didn't get it to work any better.

This engine has been a 2 year ongoing nightmare even the shipping was a PITA. The ignition and distributor are all their product curved to match the cam. Final compression ratio is 9.65:1 Its a 360 with mildly massaged J heads. Its supposed to be in the 1hp per cube range its quick but not that quick. Even the mechanic at the performance shop agreed that it wasn't.

Anyways heres the specs again.

Now all this said I am no longer running the racer brown rocker shafts as we could not set the valves after dozens of attempts to get rid of lifter noise. It also ate the first cam.

Car has 3.55 gears, 2800rpm stall and a 650 speed demon mechanical secondaries.

Thinking about trashing the carb because again NO ONE who has touched it has been able to tune the bog out of it at WOT
