Are you going to use the Model A size mains? The T 1.25 mains could be kinda small for all that extra torque. Are you going to install larger intake valves? You should look at the bushings in the transmissions and have all the reciprocating mass balanced. Make sure the pan is straight. The babbett 4th main from what I have read is still your best bet. Are you going to run coils or distributor, if coils, then recharging the magnets and maybe a new coil ring will be in order. What kind of extra oiling to the front will you use?
