I have the Harland Sharp shafts, cast iron Ford stands and made the spacers on a lathe my self from a scrap piece of bronze bushing material that was originally part of a Convair 240 landing gear. I have a little over 3000 miles on the setup, run a 6200 chip in my MSD. The engine is very expensive and everything was checked and re checked before assembly. Nothing here is half ass in any way, if I had any second thoughts about anything it went to the swap meet sale pile. Even though I bought Edelbrock fully assembled heads I still disassembled them and checked every part myself, then had a three angle valve job done on the heads. Then I disassembled them again and match ported the intake and exhaust ports and cleaned up some flash around the bowls. The heads were assembled with light springs and the engine mocked up with an old set of head gaskets to check valve clearance. Then everything was disassembled, washed and reassembled for the last time. It pays to be very picky!
