Well, my 725 is up and running well. Timing has been taken care of- 12 degrees, instead of the 35+ it was set at. Carb all adjusted. It will quickly get up to a very loud 55+, and it doesn’t take three miles to get it there.
Talking with my mechanic, we have discussed about a time, when the engine will get to old, and what to focus on replacing it with. I know there are a lot of opinions on this- get another tornado, sbc, 4bt, 6bt, ect......
Just so you know how it is used- it is a semi daily driver. I work around a 15 mi radius in my town. I try to avoid the highways, although, making 55 mph, I’m tempted. I use it as a tool truck, to haul around slightly less than a 1/2 ton of tool and materials.
I am trying not to plan for anything fancy, hopefully just a engine and possible tranny swap.
Questions:
4bt enough power?
What would you put in?
