Anybody have any experience w these??? I have one w a 302 Ford engine w 1900 hours on it.It's my understanding its basically a reg ol 302 w just four cyl's firing,but what are the chances of the rotating assembly being forged or better than stock??? I have inherited my grand fathers truck (finally) and would like to ditch the 300.

No experience, but recall seeing a couple out on job sites, years ago. I was told they run off of 4 cly. & pump air off the other 4 cly. Is that correct?

That’s my understanding.Dist cap just has four wires on it and only four lugs on the cap are used.Comp head on one bank,reg head on the other.Pretty interesting set up.

Pics? I don't think they would have used anything other than a stock crank any may have just bought the stock short blocks to build them. No need for any special crank material.

I tend to agree, after all, they are governed engines.
