To start I dont know what im talking about when it comes to cams, but using turbo cams with no turbo. problem?

Only thing i'd change is the bearings. Clevite's are actually softer than OEM bearings, not good if you accidently get a little knock...bearings take a lot of unneccesary pounding under detonation.

other than that it looks pretty good, use the search though you'll enlighten yourself

Alrighty, i did search for those of you who just want to say search. I wanted to know if anyone had one and how they worked. In no way does the posts about howell say if people like their motors or if anyone has one. To those who actually had something informative to say then thank you :)

Yes its good motor. There is a straight up answer.

Just change the piston rings to JE.

Then you didn't look very hard. There has been a lot of controversy over the years concerning Howell blocks.

Just saying.

Thats what I was thinking.

Yes sir you have some reading to do.

I have heard the total seal rings are junk, but don't just take my word for it.
