since this car was in a collection for a few years, to prepare it for Spring 2012 driving, Fraser Dante’s senior tech set the performance, full timing and carberators setting, part of the fresh setup from being in a collection and how getting in fine running condition included changing the oil two times using 20W50 and oil additives, then idling the car and changing it for a second time and running it again for another ½ hour, new filter, fresh plugs, then big block ‘loose’ engine with the valve train sounding sensational, we listened to the even ticking of the valves on both sides with a socket extension, sounds very period and strong, has very powerful acceleration with the limited test drive just completed, since Fraser Dante did not build the engine, it is possible there is a uprated cam shaft from the sound but we just don’t know, fresh plugs and tune with all fresh fluids as mentioned, sounds strong even across, fresh engine detail with new cooling,
