How can you tell the difference between a HO and a regular 4V?

 

HO is essentially a Boss with lower compression ratio to meet 72 emissions standards and has a solid lifter cam with adjustable valve train on open chamber heads. Regular 4V would be hydraulic lifter with non adjustable rockers.

 

Thats all? Just went and looked at one (or what the guy claimed to be one). looked to be in good shape. Standard Bore, block, pistons, crank, distributor, brackets, 4V heads.

$300. What do you guys think? Seems like a good deal to me...

 

if it's rebuildable sounds good to me.

 

If it is in fact a rebuildable HO with all the bits and pieces it is the steal of the century.

 

i love flat tappet solid lifters.

 

Awesome. The guy had a newer Supercharged Steeda and a couple of windsors sitting around. I guess he doesn't have the car to put this in.

I'm planning on getting it as soon as I can figure out a place to put it, so I'll be keeping everyone updated/asking plenty of questions to all you Cleveland experts!
