Boy oh boy.....talk about service. I just got a call from the engine builder. They knocked the engine apart last week, and got everything inspected, measured, cleaned, and parts ordered.

The bores were .010-.012 out, so the new pistons will be at .030 over. The crank just needs a polish! The flywheel needed hardly anything in terms of resurfacing. The new pistons will yield a 10.5:1 compression ratio, new Eagle rods, timing set, and new valves / springs. I sourced an NOS 097 Duntov camshaft and I am sending that out to them today.

This could be on the dyno in a couple of weeks!
