Hey there everybody,
I have been lurking on here for quite a while just trying to soak up as much info as I could, but I have come to the point where I cannot seem to find a good answer.
I am in the process of rebuilding my 59 292 for my Fairlane. I have had all the machine work done to the block and am starting assembly now. My question is about a timing set. I work in the automotive industry and get a "factory" style timing set quick and cheap. Is this the way to go or should I save my pennies and go for the roller timing set from rollmaster, or something similar?
The block was bored .30 over and is running a mild clay smith cam. It will have the Ford 4 barrel manifold with a holley 650 carb. I will be using the stock ford-o-matic transmission that came out of the car. I will be using the stock exhaust manifolds for now. Not going to be looking for high horsepower out of this project, just a reliable engine for the 4 door to cruise with.
If there is anything I left out, please don't hesitate to ask. I am just trying to determine if I should go with a factory style timing set or a roller set.
