>the later street Cammers were mostly 10.5:1 with a few 12.5:1 tossed in for good measure. <

I bought one back in the '80's that was represented as a "crate" motor w/less than 350 miles on it. It was in a '66 Mustang FB.

After spending some time talking to the father of the seller I surmise that it probably was (crate). He was a NASCAR mechanic back in those days and remembers the day they were disqualified from being run.

It didn't have the 2 X 4 setup but a single 4. Anyway it has the adjustable rockers but I would guess 12.5:1 compression. It hits hard as heck when it fires but nothing sounds quite as sweet idling through open headers.

It is on the stand in my garage as I type. Haven't heard it run in ....ooh 15 - 18 years. I tried to sell it last year but no one seemed interested in it @ 12,500.00.

Thank goodness I came to my senses and decided to keep it. Later this year I will begin work on the FB that it came out of with the intentions of putting it back in place. I'm a little worried about putting it on the street, especially with that compression ratio, but since I'm getting to be an old fart I'm as proud of what it looks like as I am at how much rubber I can pile up on the highway so I guess I'll be ok. Parts for that sucker are totally outrageous.

I too had thought of putting it in a '64 Galaxie. Must be something special about that year. LOL

If I can check anything on it for you I'd be glad to do so. I was told that the rod bolts had been changed and a NASCAR type oil pump had been put in but that was all that had been done to it from "stock". I've never checked. As I said I've had a valve cover off and it does have the adjustable rockers. I was originally told that it did not so that was a good deal there.

Again if I can check anything for you let me know.

PS. I'm still looking for a Weber manifold for it BTW.
