cant wait to see it with the chevrons. you know I am a flat head guy mostly but might do a V8 or diesel on my project WC52 i have sitting.....
My WC57 I had the head shaved .070 and put in a modern grind on the cam shaft and I had 11.00 michelins. the difference in performance as a result of those 2 modifications was big. long grades that I would have had to be on the shoulder in 3rd gear were easily ascendable in 4th gear. it woul actuallyb spin the 11.00 16s in the gravel a bit. the stock cams are designed for 70 octane. so if you want to experiment for little investment before converting might be worth a try. that engine was also totaly rebuilt and pistons were .060 over which also raises compression along with added compression on shaved head.
