Poly Eng Knowledge Needed

If I have to do a rebuild on this one, that is the route I'm going. 360 crank with 318 mains. Bore .090" over since you can with these blocks. And give the heads some more attention. The intake side on mine flow 220 at .450 or .500 lift. The exhaust is another story.
Dig out the old Direct Connection manual. There a ideas in there that are probably still valid...given that the parts are still available. Talking with Mr.Toth, his recommendation was not to use an intake valve over 2.00" because it could run into water. Compared LA and Poly rocker shaft today, my eye ball micrometer says they look like the same length and diameter but mounting holes in different locations.
