Thanks guys, I'm certainly excited with it. Can't say I stole it but surely couldn't have built it for nearly what I paid.

Not sure the exact compression. The block is .030" over with slightly dished pistons and the AFR's are off-the-shelf so nothing's been done to purposefully bump the compression. I intend to deck the heads slightly when I massage and match the ports but nothing extreme. The carb is a 1904 which is the 750 version. I can't sing it's praises yet because it needs a tuner's touch. The engine stumbles on the gas at the low end before it takes off and I'm not the carb tuner guy.
