Listers,
Based on the feedback most of everyone focused in on the 260 to 289
overbore. Others assumed that I would attempt this. Rest assured all that I
am not going to attempt this as I will remove the original 260 and save it
as it is becoming a rarity now. If I choose to increase performance on my
tiger I will use something a little more plentiful and build a higher
displacement unit.
Some general things I plan to do are to build a 10.5 :1 engine with a flat
top piston angle milled or twisted wedge heads with small chambers, a
hydraulic roller cam, crower or carrillo rods, a billet MSD distributor with
an MSD 6T and rev control under my performer RPM manifold with a 650 Holley
for now and potentially a manifold mounted fuel injection system (like
Theo). None of this is covered in the book I primarily purchased it for
nostalgia but I certainly appreciate everyone's concern that I might
actually try some of the stuff in the book.
I sure like this list.
Best regards,
Tim Ronak
