The fact he is doing business with EB tells me he's one of the sharper knives in the drawer. Trick here is to make sure that everything seals up proper. I mean if he were to load up standard sized parts into a block that was maybe .030 over...then there could be some inconsistancy problems.....wouldnt you agree? lol On my motor...I dont know what the hell it is. What I can tell you is after running over an hour at 55-70 mph I was still able to accelerate while traveling up hills in 5th gear. The engine accomplished what it was supposed to do. Consistant strong power at a lower RPM range that keeps going and going etc. I was able to hold 85 mph yesterday between Longview and Olympia (65 miles) without any signs of heat or fatigue. Bowties yes...but nothing you can get off the shelf or out of a catalogue. 8 pistons made...thats it. Rods...yup Toyota...but not 22R series last I heard. Im content with having it under the hood of my truck!
