    Performance package for an older car or truck

    Parts price new at Summit.
    Edelbrock RPM 167.95
    Fuel line 16.00
    Holley 570 CFM 366.95
    550.90
    More parts
    Air cleaner
    Roller rockers
    Comp Cam retainers, springs, and locks
    Screw in studs
    Machine work and set up

    I am just going to check and see if there is any interest. This would be a great upgrade from stock for an earlier car or truck. The heads are E7TE With pocket porting under the valves, The exhaust hump removed, and the intake straightened. They were surfaced, 3 angle valve job, scew in studs, new seals, and set up properly for a flat tappet cam. [I may have roller springs] Out of the box I would put these against stock GT 40's. These will give you an adjustable valve train and pulled strong past 6,000 RPM with a Lunati cam. I will throw in a melling MT1 cam and lifters if you want. Not a 12 second package but it will put a smile one your face if you have stock. These parts have aprox 3 to 4 thousand miles. I would like to see $600. This is the car the parts were just removed from. impatina@gmail.com

        It could be a few things.
        1- I will restore this car and put in a 6 cylinder and 2 speed auto like new.
        2- I like a V8 and will put a 260 and 2 speed auto in it like I bought it.
        3- I will try and add 100 naturally aspirated horsepower to the old 289.
        Do you want to pick a door number? 1, 2, or 3. I did see a six banger on craigslist.

                  WOW! you are right. that would have been so dramatic. It would have brought it from a car shot to destruction. Hmmmm......If you would be so kind to hold the camera on the next shooting I will make you a star.

                      Sorry I changed my mind. if you would hold the battery there may be others on this site that should be "star" material. You may want to bring goggles.

                        Give your dad the whole package and make him proud. This will wake up his old Ford. I was testing the waters before I ebay these parts. I would be looking in the area of $300 and you get the air cleaner. Thanks. Mark

                          Thanks Old Man. As if I don't have a hard enough time making up my mind. Now you go and complicate things.
                          Revised list due to old man intervention
                          It could be a few things.

                          3- I will try and add 100 naturally aspirated horsepower to the old 289.
                          4- I will add 300 horsepower from a 427 tunnel port.
                          Do you want to pick a door number? 1, 2, 3, or 4. I did see a six banger on craigslist and on here.
