[Tigers] K motor Block and Crank

[Thomas Witt]

Thanks John.  Seems a HiPo crank and an Alger potentially have something in 
common.  The 5 bolt 289 in my Tiger was "purported" to have been a HiPo. 
However, the balancer and the heads tell a different story. It definitely 
does not have a standard cam. It's a solid lifter , with .460/280-ish 
numbers. At the time I was using zero to zero for the duration measurement 
instead of .006 and .050 (didn't know better). The zero to zero measurements 
were a little over 300 duration.

 Anyway, that cam is probably where the HiPo terminology was erroneously 
applied to my motor.  Not an issue, I was expecting a 260 so I did get a 
little "bonus."
