Subj: REPLY TO MSG #4092 (REAL STREET RODS II)

Give me a call when you pass through.  My rod is back together, so I am told,
as of today, with my new Isky 3/4 race cam and Offy high compression, finned
aluminum heads.  It should be a bit more... zippy!  The stock 50-Merc flathead
V8 had 112 hp.  These add-ons should puch that figure beyond 160 hp.  If I keep
this up, I might have more hp then your typical VW!!!  Perhaps I'll consider
one of those... new!!... overhead valve motors.  I wonder.  Do you think the
overhead valve is here to stay? -Rick-
