>>>In this particular case, if I'm not mistaken, "He" is Ford Motor
Company, as I believe Jeff said this is a Ford 392 crate engine. If that's the
case, it should be very easy to get the necessary info straight from Ford.
Ford crate engines, like the Pantera, are 'built to a price' and typically
won't put up with the same level of abuse as a professionally built engine
of nominally similar characteristics, because there are corners cut
everywhere, such as cast vs. forged cranks, rods, mild valvetrain and cam specs,
etc....
