    Comp Cams was the company I was looking at to begin with so no complaints from me there. I'd also considered Lunati but...

    I wouldn't mind a 385 series engine (as a matter of fact, I've got a 429 to build for my 71 Mach1), I just don't see cutting up the shock towers on my 67 to fit it in the engine compartment...

    FE's are expensive but worth it in my opinion. Besides, I've got several and waste not, want not. And it's correct for the year....not that it matters all that much but still....
