Heads included in this package are new Dart 227 CNC Pro 1 castings, brand new MRE 1.580" H-11 springs, Titanium retainers, 10* keepers, and Manley Severe Duty 2.080"/1.600" valves, 68cc. Compression in this engine will be anywhere from 14.1-15.1 depending on where the cc's wind up. Jesel Sportsman series shaft rockers, 1.6/1.6 ratio, also brand new. Custom MRE fabricated aluminum valve covers set up for vacuum pump, ARP Head studs w/12pnt nuts.

Engine needs: Cam, lifters, and pushrods. Pistons will need notching once final cam is selected, which was done purposely to notch for exact tolerances, yet keeping thickness in the deck surfaces, and the rotator needs balancing. Customer went a different route.

There is $8500 in this setup so far. His loss, your gain. Will sell it all for $5,500 as is,
$7,500 complete intake to pan, or
$9,500 carb to pan w/vacuum pump dynoed ready to drop in...Would cost $12.5k-$13.5k to build.

This is a race gas only type engine used for bracket racing or some heads up racing for lightweight cars. It is not designed to be a street engine. C16 gas will need to be used. This engine combination will run in the mid to low tens @3500 lbs, will not require a whole bunch of maintenance, which makes it nice for a consistent bracket engine. It is a nice setup for Drag Radial as well. Small cubic inch keeps the car light.

Carb recommended: 1050 Dominator
Headers recommended: 1 7/8" x 3.5"
Converter recommend: 8" 5-5,500
