Anyone know anything about Pops Performance? I'm thinking of taking the 352 out of my 65 Galaxie and going bigger.
Thanks Bob

Thanks for the info. I live near Detroit so I will contact Survival Motor Sports.It would only make sense to go with them due to shipping cost.

If it's Popltd, I bought my block from him. It was suppose to be all machined and ready to be assembled. When I had it checked by my machinist, the cross bolt spacers were too small and when tightened would pull the caps sideways. New spacers were machined and the block was re-line bored. The oil mods were not done properly, the passage from the oil filter to the cam was not enlarged and regular thread plugs were installed in the lifter passages, those were tapped and replaced with pipe threaded ones. The cylinders were also honed to get them within specs. He did do a good job hard blocking it and for a street motor it probably would have been ok. I'm using it for racing only and wanted it to be perfect. It's now all together and so far without testing it at the track sounds real good. George
