    Bought a 306 roller long block for the mav. reworked e7te heads, flat top pistons and a letter cam from ford racing. It will be done in a week... I can't remember what cam but it's something like 499/512 I was told compression will be right at 10 to 1 ...

    Best part is, 3 year warranty... Cost $1825.

    Edit: cam specs are, Dur 279/289 @.50 Lift is 493/510 Lobe center 112*

    Front end mocked up completely, started to trim down the 4dr quarter panel for better storage, cleaned the garage. Need to put away my tools and clean up the bench but other than that good productive day.

    Im exhausted and want to take a nap lol

    I did my research on the cam thats going into my 306... It 's a Trick Flow track max stage 1 (499/510) They are ground by Elgin so that's where the odd name came in...
