Mr. Davis,
Reading your words was like reading my own thoughts. I like the idea of using the old iron and adding a few modern upgrades.

My '63 WM300 will have the 251 with the following upgrades.

.030 overbore, balanced, .030 milled from the head to raise compression to appox. 7.75 to 1, Isky cam, electronic module for dist. from Pertronix, and electronic or mechanical fuel injection ( I haven't researched the f. i. a whole lot yet. If anyone has any ideas or experience I'd be interested in hearing from you. )

To get a little bit better road speed ( 55-60 )4.89 gears and 36" Michelin XZL's will be used. To slow her back down I'll have front discs and power assist.

This project has been a whole lot of fun. Thats the name of the game isn't it.
Keep the faded paint up and the old rubber down.
Brett Wilsey
