James, why do you say that? I see no ruling that states that, and there are lots of instances of engines that were not produced with forged or cast cranks running either.

well said, also with that being said I am hearing several guys running this set up that I am building even using cast iron intake manifold when the engine original came with aluminum. I had a reputable carb guy tell me he has found early model rochester carbs that are accepted for the 85 305. it seems to me that there are a few pieces they are accepting that were not absolutely stock.
