Hello Everyone,
This spring I plan on pulling the engine out of my '63 Ranchero to upgrade the cam/valve train, balance the crank and perhaps upgrade the pistons.
The engine is a 1968 200, with a 1976 250 head, I'm not sure what machine work has already been done to accommodate that set up.
I'm going to run a Clay Smith H-274-8-B cam with 1.6 rockers, so a dual spring upgrade will be in order.
I have a few generic questions about the project:
What books should I be purchasing?
Are there aftermarket pistons I can use to increase compression ratio?
What work will the head need to maximise it's potential?
Thanks!
