Poly info											
	I had a list of sources for the Poly, but apparently email gremlins have deleted the 
file I had on the engine. First off the bottom end of the Poly is the same as the LA block. 
The only difference here is the camshaft. Bill Richardson (3022 Memorial Avenue 
Lynchburg Virginia 24501, 804-846-0043), has built a number of these and he claims to 
have access to the parts to build a screamer, including new cams.* Several cam grinders 
will regrind your stock core to a performance grind, depending on the application. Lunati 
will regrind a roller cam for around $280. However Bill claims a roller cam is 
unnecessary and you can put the money elsewhere to make horsepower. Rocker Arm 
Rebuilders (I don’t have the number but they are in California) will rebuild the rockers 
and shafts for around $70. This service included installing bronze bushing, rafacing the 
hard contract pad, hard chroming and regrinding the shafts. Pekka in Finland sent his 
shafts to them and he was happy with results. You can use a roller timing chain from the 
LA, along with the windage tray. Pistons will be a custom application. Bill Richardson 
ahs good technical information and is a good machinist.					
	I spoke to others, including Rocker Arm Rebuilders about building roller tip 
rockers for the Poly. I could have a set built for $500, but have been advised against it as 
the gains are not substantial for the Poly.							
	You will need  to have headers built for this application. I have been told the 
primaries need to be 1-3/4” I had a set built 14 years ago, but the primaries were 
undersized and I do not like the routing. I plan to build a new set when I redo the car. 
With headers, a turned down 360 crank, 11:1 pistons, and a good carburetor, the Poly will 
make 500+ HP
