Had I opened the box and seen that the dust wouldn't have made it out of the box before it was back in the mail. Buy new parts, spend 100% quality money, expect 100% quality parts. Let them deal with the shipper, not you. Heads are everywhere.

I went with the ATI on this 565 and am satisfied with the choice.

I have a 500 inch internally balanced bbc which makes roughly 700hp. I have run the Fluidamper on this engine since the beginning. I ran the engine on a drag/street car for 7+ years before I chose to freshen it up. Bearings had minimal wear and Marine Crankshaft checked the crank out and the engine ...

Marine Crankshaft is a classy operation.

At 20 I'm in. Set up a way to pay.

Start retard? Timing on my BBC is locked out. 14 to 1 comp. I pull 20* when starting and throttle position is also a factor.

2" will not gain power on that combo. Glass packs aren't an efficient muffler. Side pipes are typically noisy.

60 IS youthful though.

I see it as a great opportunity for a youthful ambitious mind.

Congrats on the new venture. I'm sure the legacy will continue.
