    Default Yes

    It is considered an uprated Kent engine with the GT cam, later model block, pistons, head. I think that is what you mean. If not let me know.

    Default Crank and Head

    Yes all FF cranks are cast, the latest iteration from SCCA is just an updated casting. This is one of the original castings that was magnafluxed, turned and polished. Number of hours I can't really say as I got it with the spares that came with my Swift and I sent it out to the crank shop to be prepped.

    Head is a cast iron head, I do have an aluminum head that I could sub for the iron head for an additional $800.

    Thanks

    Joe

    Default Engine Details

    Yes standard Ford Crank not the new Scat/SCCA Crank
    Turned 10/10
    Cylinders are standard as they were sleeved.
    Valve seats are fresh with only a single cut on them (i.e. they are not sunk in the head)
    No dyno - if you would like it dyno'd we can put it on the dyno for $650
