Hello:
I own a 71 Mustang Mach 1, just recently lost oil pressure and is knocking. Local mechanic said more than likely bearing is shot on crank shaft. I am going to pull out and completely rebuild it. I would like people opinions on what to do/not to do to motor. I plan on using the motor for street driving, probably no drag racing but will get on it here and there. Want it to sound like a mean motor with a good sounding cam but also don't want a motor this will over heat around town. What's the advantage of roller cams verses mechanical? I plan on buying all the kits through local machine shop that is very knowledgable on the motors but just wanted any extra feedback from people that have been through it and wished they would of done something different. Thanks for any advice!
