It was a freshly rebuilt '69 302 from a Torino that had been freshened up along with having a few parts slapped on it and they were building it for their fox body. Well it's been sitting for awhile because it's not quite finished and I haven't been motivated to do anything with it but I finally took the time to tear it down and find out what cam was in it along with just taking a look at everything. The heads that are on it are '69 C09E heads that have been reworked for guideplates and Comp Cam Gold 1.6 roller rockers. The cam is a Crane Cams 278 H10, the specs are here: <a href="http://www.jegs.com/i/Crane+Cams/271/130092/10002/-1" target="_blank">http://www.jegs.com/i/Crane+Cams/271/130092/10002/-1</a> . The intake is a Edelbrock Performer and the carb it came with is a Holley 650 double pump. The block had been bored .030 over but still has the original crank and pistons. My plan was to simply lube everything back up, check that everything it torqued down correctly, and put it back together now that I know for sure what the cam is but I'm still up in the air on what else I should do. I have the same intake on my 67 right now (except with a Edlebrock carb, not sure on size) that seems to be in better shape as the other intake/carb seems to be a bit older so I'm not sure which I should go with. I still have to get a distributor to go in this motor and a new waterpump but other than that, I think I will be reusing most of what's on the motor currently in the car. So I need help figuring out what carb to go with and also if there is anything else I need to do while the motor is somewhat tore apart. I'm really just wanting to mask it off and repaint it while it's apart but is there anything else I need to be concerned with while putting this motor back together? This is my first tear-down, put back together deal, but I'm not really doing anything major to it. Also, anyone want to make any guesses on how much power I could expect out it? I really don't mind how quick she is, so long as it'll make for a decent combo. I'll have some pics up in a little bit of everything torn down.</blockquote>
