Oh I was kidding of course... but it WOULD be a fun project, if I had 
such a car in the first place. Talk about a cheap project! Rings and 
bearings arent, since they're scarce, and machine work is machine work, 
but otherwise it would be a fun and novel project.

The L-head 195.6 is totally ordinary, except for the wacko "intake", so 
you could probably use all the rules of thumb from all the blown 
flatheads out there, boost and all that.
