My dad decided to move back to the North Carolina this past week and also sold me his 61 F600 dump truck that has a C1TE block, crank, and heads. I am considering building a blown (McCulloch VS7) Y block one way or the other, and have heard that the crank would be good to use. What about those heads (C1TE also) - are they low enough in compression to give me what I want, or should I look for a set of 471's? I plan to pull the motor within a few weeks and start going over it - looking to get what I need. An engine test stand is also in the works, putting the blown Y on display at local car shows next year.

I also assume that I would need to put in a cam that is supercharger specific - any thoughts for an engine on display (that would eventually be put in a 55 or 56 Ford in a couple of years - either an AOD or T5 transmission, rear end gearing yet to be determined...
