Funny you brought that up Tx. Knowing that I wanted a *****in little 6 I wanted to have someone rebuild the motor that knew what they were doing. Unfortunately everyone I talked to in my area didn't have a torque plate for the over bore and just wasn't familiar with any performance combinations the 6's require.
Now I'm sure you inline guys are familiar with Santucci's book inline Power Guide. You know Santucci is the guy that has the spliced V8 head on his 292 drag motor....turns out the shop that did the work is about 3 hours from me in Connecticut., and they are about 10 minutes from one of my wife's favorite weekend getaways, Mystic Seaport and Mohegan Sun Casino, see where I'm going with this? Hmmmm pics to come perhaps??? Lets just say we went on a road trip a couple of months ago to have a look around
That's enough for tonight guys that should give you something to chew on for awhile. I have to get up early tomorrow and push a paint brush and roller around a clients bedroom.
