I recently picked up a 140 engine in parts from one of my customers. He was into Horse Power !!  Heads are ported and polished with three angle valve job. Its been bored .60 over with flat top pistons, a Crower cam, and V8 clutch modified for the corvair, all balanced. With brand new headers and mufflers. This was all done 30 years ago, wrapped in oil coated cloth and put on the shelf. Complete with all the bearings, rings, etc. The only thing I need to replace is the gasket set. Its a little dried out.  Oh, it also came with a LM posi transaxle and drivelines. I paid 200.00 for everything. I was wondering if someone could tell me what the lift and duration is on the camshaft. It is a Crower, part number P0143. The only thing I need to complete the engine is a carb setup.  I do not know what would be optimum for power, 4-carbs or a single 4bbl.  Can anyone give me an aproximate Horse Power rating on the completed engine. I will be looking for a 67 coupe project car to put it in. If anyone knows of one within reasonable driveing distance of Newport Oregon. Please let me know. 

Thanks,
