Clint, I mean no disrepect for old engines, some are definately worth keeping, mine however is a 555 cummins, my last Harley wast a 1968 pan/shovel and nothing sounded sweeter, shovelheads are my favorite sounding engine, but they do take quite a bit of tinkering to keep them on the road. I had a 1958 chev apache pick-up back in the 80's we pulled the orig 6cyl out and put a 425hp 396 in t400 auto with 4:88 posi rear end, 10.5 seconds in a 1/4 mile with slicks. So please don't get me wrong about old engines I love certain ones,just the 555 cummins and the 3208 cat were reputabley crappy engines in my opinion.
