Restoration woes

Find a mount road test engine 318 out of a 71-72 They are the best. It will have a chome sticker on the left valve cover. They have a higher Comp due to deck hieght. Install a 460 lift solid lift cam. no smaller as solids are always larger then Hyd. and end up being the same lift after 2000 rpm. You won't need pistons just a hypo intake or a LD4B .I have a 1971 low mile ount road engine and the adjustable rockers but your to far away.
