Dick (owner of the RTV) told me his was engine was the 260...Thanks for the heads up on the 4V not having cam phasers ..I might have confused another valve train issue with that.Been a while . Cheers..

And if they had put the 4v heads on it might have been able to make use of the flow up top .....look at how the coyote revs and that's a square motor
