           would pass it by in top speed due to the Higher Revs of the
         215 at 9,500 max RPM (Built for racing using the boat racers specs. 
         They turn them 9,000 all season long and 9,500 during the finals at 
each
         event.!!!).

        reverse rotation cam!!!  I know in Crown's old Corvair catalog a reverse
        rotation cam was used with the 215 for mid engine (reversed transaxle) 
installations
        to keep the pinion rotation right.  This was called a marine cam.

        So maybe the secret to hi-rpm operation would be to reverse roatate the 
289!!!!!
        hahahahah
