Here is where I am at so far. Engine mostly done.
New heads (AFR 180cc), pistons (flat top), connecting rods (free type), bearings, TFS Stage 1 roller camshaft, steel 1.6 rockers with roller tips, retro roller lifters, new oil pump, new water pump, all now gaskets, and port matched the intake to the heads (to max air flow limited by the heads, not the intake - hopefully). The rotating assembly was balanced by a local machine shop. I cleaned up the block and honed the cylinders. All the measurements/gaps were within spec per the Ford manual. The deskyop dyno using all the parts I installed showed about 10.1:1 compression with theoretical 437HP and over 500lbs of torque. Hmm. Not sure about that. But my butt dyno will be the judge of that.
