in simple answers , is it worth my while to install a 140 pg crank in a
95
engine i am building for a 64 coupe with a/c? would it be that much better
on
low end , and still drive ok at highway speeds?
140 pg block , with 64 jugs and pistons not octane cut , 64 95hp heads ,
140
pg distrib (330) is what i am thinking now.
i just acquired the 140 pg engine for parts yesterday.

Hi Tim,
I think that you have the wrong idea. (sorry to be so blunt). The idea of
the 140hp PG engine was to lower the torque curve by using the 889 cam and then
RAISE the curve back to that desired by retarding the cam. Retarding RAISES
the torque curve up the rpm range.
So with your 95 hp engine which is standard with the 889 cam, using a 140 hp
crank will raise the torque curve not lower it. As I read your question, that
is NOT what you want.
Regards,
Bob Helt
