My 1960 is a CU code engine (see photo of pad), but it looks like sometime in its past life it was converted to 245 HP. I verified on a thread yesterday that I have 245 carbs. I spoke to Robbie Kunz (Bob's son) yesterday and he said they could convert the 245 carbs to 270 without much additional cost over their normal rebuild price. I.e. the air valve weight change out, etc.
I took the intake off this morning and took out a lifter (see pictures). I am new to this, but given the hole in the side of the lifter, I assume this is a hydraulic lifter?
Is there any good reason that I should not purchase a correct cam, lifters, etc. and convert this back to a 270HP solid lifter engine?
Thanks,
Don
