Sure,
I got a '69 block out of a Cougar for 150 bucks, tore it down, and had it hot tanked, balanced and blueprinted. I wanted a real street demon so I went EFI and very mild comp cam (custom grind). I actually passed emissions with BBK shorties and BBK cats. It ran excellent with no problems until my engine builder noticed that there was too much copper in the oil filter. So we checked the endplay with a micrometer and it was too far off so we determined that the bearings were shot. From that point on (which was the end of last summer) I didn't get on her hard, but drove around town a little. Now, the bearings have been replaced and we put in a lumpier cam. I just got the line lock in and the engine should be in tonight. I'm looking at lighting the candle sometime this weekend and hitting the track ASAP. If you want more info about my setup send me an email.
