rebuilding a rebuilt slant

chj, I'm guessing that you mean billet timing chain gear set? Also I didn't catch the 35 -75 (3/4 Race as they were known in the day) reference. Could you please elaborate a little?

BillGrissom, when I bought the engine I just assumed that it was either a car or truck motor from a smaller company. It was listed on ebay. When I bought it the buy it now was 350, when I returned home I looked and the buy it now was 600 I actually only paid 300 for it just because I thought it would be a good base to start from. After doing some thinking that motor could have been for a forklift, an airport tug, or even an aircraft generator. That's why I want to choose a different cam and bump up the compression. I don't want to go all out on this one but I want to have some fun while I plan and work on the other parts of the car. I do have an hei setup but nothing with a controller. I just have to find time to wire it up... One of my problems is I find good deals on parts so I buy the stuff that I'm going to need and that sets me back on other things that I have already started. Right now I'm just trying to focus on the motor.
