For my Group Red FC, I have on hand, heads ported for a low rpm torque motor
(classic truck motor). Use 92mm cyl with Mahle pistons, LM crank and rods. I
have a 280 cam. Initially and probably set on two carbs. It is currently to
be a 110 engine. 140 exh stacks. Probably the Clarks ultimate headers and
mufflers. Later car 4 spd and 3.55. Going to use an old MSD for electronic
ignition. Requires a Chrysler type pickup and coil. The way to go is
Silicone Wire Systems/Performance Corvair distributor... I have one for
racecar, would like another for the street car. FC is last... Smile.

Bryan mentions balanced and oil system blueprinted. I cannot stress enough
the need to do these things. Makes a world of difference.

Hi Phil,

Someone else posed a similar question to our club recently, here's my answer
for an FC engine:

My intended combo:

95 heads deflashed and milled .050" w/140 exhaust tubes and deep seats
OT-10 cam or 260 degree cam of choice
140 exh logs and big bore exhaust
Nitrided crank
New pistons, probably Clark's forged
Balanced, oil system blueprinted
12 plate oil cooler w/side shrouds
110 dist w/electronic conversion

I'd run 3.55 gears, the FCs have taller tires than the cars, they weigh
more, and they have more frontal area.
