Scored me an Offy!

- large valves (1.70/1.44)
- porting job, with 340 valve springs or equivalent, mill 0.100" off deck for 9:1 compression
- Erson 280 int/270 exh duration cam, 0.465" lift
- 2600-3000 RPM stall converter
- recurve distributor
- HEI electronic ignition
√ Offenhauser 4bbl intake
- Adapter plate with Holley 500 CFM 2bbl carb w/elec choke OR Holley 390 CFM w/elec choke
- Port out stock exh manifold and run 2.25" exh all the way back, OR Dutra Duals and run 2 X 2" into a Y-pipe and single 2.5" from the trans X-member back, OR Clifford shorty headers with similar setup. (That one you're more than welcome to debate.)
- Put O2 sensor in exhaust headpipe and Sunpro gauge under dash

I've got a very similar set-up in my slant, but it's a long rod with 9.3:1 compression, no head porting, stock valves and a Super Six in a heavier car ('72 Swinger). I was VERY pleased. It's a nice, fun car to drive. I think you'll like it. Best of luck!
