you need a motor with a non integrated head (like the one you have), use pistons for a 307 chevy v8, rebuild the stock rods, pick a cam and do some serious head work.
these engines have a small aftermarket to support them and a wealth of knowledge held by the guy's that have done these for years.
maybe go to the CLUBB STUFF on the left side of screen and buy the INLINE 6 POWER mANUAL to get started.

We'd have still been in the same boat, with me having 2 un-identifiable engines that needed to be identified (which we did), and then now subsequently, ruled out?

Didn't know what I needed in a motor, because I don't know what I had to start with, and there in was the rub. I could have been looking around for something I already had, but didn't know it.

The inline 6 manual sounds like good reading. Appreciate the tip on that.
