Walt:

I'll check on the #'s.

This is a seven main bearing motor...yes? Does that mean it can sustain higher rpms? With mild tweaking, would this run better than a 235 or 261?

Any good literature on this engine?

Thanks,
Tom

After '71 they changed the way they rated engines from gross to net values.
