Bill, that is a hugely generous offer & is really appreciated ! I would hate to put you to the trouble of sending everything, so maybe if I sketch out my current thinking, it might help you cull out some stuff & lighten the load ? :

- Current setup is a stock 95 Mustang block, rods, crank, plus a "200kw Tickford cam", AFR heads, FPV roller rockers, & a DC&O 8-stack + Autronic ECU.

- New engine : Re-use the AFR's, roller rockers & DC&O/Autronic setup. Mildly stroked short block (say 330ci), set up for about 10:1 c/r, & a more interesting cam.

The intended use is 95% road / 5% track, & reliability is a bigger issue than power. I doubt it will ever see more than 6000rpm, so I really can't justify going to extremes like the World block, etc.

So if you have anything on a "mild stroked, streetable" buildup, it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Again & Kind Regards,

Peter D.
