What pistons are in the engine? What rings?  Are the heads equipped with new valves too?

See attached build sheet...Not listed but, new exhaust valves - intakes measure fine

Estimated HP - The head chambers (believe it or not) came in around 75 cc.  So they could be milled a tad to bring up CR and still have plenty of P-V clearance.  Also a fairly mild cam by today's standards.  I would think with this cam, these heads, intake, headers, and the right carb maybe 365ish HP  :dunno:

The motor is such a sweetheart I didn't want to touch the ports and ruin it for someone who wants/needs stock ports.  Chambers were polished to reduce chance of detonation with pump gas fuel and not necessarily for performance enhancement.  All the machine work is "dead-on" and every single nut, bolt, and thread cleaned by hand.

This motor has been in my possession and resting inside for 24 yrs...Now it's screwed together and waiting for a good home!
