thanks so much mike, hopefully the guru's can add some info. I have the complete low time early 80's revmaster 2180 available for $2500, or can wait the likely couple years or more until the project is ready for FWF.
one thin, I mentioned the knock sensor because someday almost certainly if/when I have the kit flying, I'd like to try a normalizing or low-boost turbocharger. this is due to how much performance my avid lost at high density altitude ops. my main question is if the revmaster has a slightly tougher bottom end (in particular the #4 bearing setup) or of those hemi heads with that new alloy are tougher. but not expecting even conjecture on that, who knows though.
