GODDAM, this has been more FUN than a barrel full of monkeys!
I was out of the country on business last week and stopped checking in on this thread for over a week and am amazed at the "riches" I came back to...
THANKS ever so to efi-diy,Big Bill, MBHD,Panic, James at Freds Garage and Leaded from Norway for all the sage advice. Or at least, identifying the great diversity of options from which I may choose. I am still digesting the advice, but I am leaning towards doing pretty much with Big Bill suggests with 307 flat
top pistons, cut the case and heads, 260 Comp cam with matching push rods, Landon cast iron headers (maybe Larrys Lumps as a "poor mans" solution to the lump port advantage?),a good fluiddamper, some sort of HEI ignition, Offy or Clifford intake with a modest 2 barrel Rochester or equivalent, and a 2 or 2.5" collector. I like the "turbo it"! commeent from our esteemed colleague Leaded from Norway and I have seen the pics of his engine so I know he speaks from experience. Ok, socks first, then shoes.... I will get the engine apart and cleaned, checked out, then I will start on and purchase the build specs. I will bounce back to the group with pics as the saga (or debaucle...) goes on,... and on... and on... Remember: "budget??? what's that?" Ok thanks to all of you and you have been a wealth of information and advice. Hope my first inline 6 does not blow sky high! Either way, this will be fun and instructive for us all, yes?
Cheers, mates and thanks again!
