Watched the previous series of videos. Too much waffle but there was the occasional gem. The big issue for me was the huge difference in dyno numbers. Now this "twin" engine has dynoed 730 hp - with rusty bores. So please - find out what was wrong with the other engine. It wasn't just compression ratio.

Having seen these videos it was it appears to be a truck class engine. 

The other one from the same owner was a Nascar engine.  Near as dammit the same power 20 years later.
