What can you tell me about the this type of engine?

According to original spec i found that it has 125hp at 8500rpm.
Does this engines rev that high?
If the engine was rebuilt, and they took the time to upgrade cams, there's no telling what else might have been changed. Judging from rebuild projects you can find on this site, most people (like me) rebuilding a T engine will boost compression, swap crankshaft to get a longer stroke.. there's a whole slew of relatively straightforward upgrades that can be done, many which would work well in concert with a cam upgrade. So you could have anything.

In almost any case that engine shouldn't be spun to 8500. I think there was a number transposition there - the original spec is at 5800 rpm, not 8500. Redline would be around 6500.

Is the engine currently running?

Have fun with the project!
Mike
