Yeah, the 534s were gutless turds. I helped put this one together and install it. A 3126 Caterpillar would have been cheaper than rebuilding the gasser.
It amazed me that a 534" engine had exhaust ports the size of a 302 and that it had an intake manifold setup like a 7.3L and for transferring air AND fuel is HORRENDOUS. Back in high school I built a ratty little 352 for a '74 F-100 I had. I had a 361 crankshaft laying around that I was going to machine to fit the FE front cover until I weighed it. That forged steel crank was 74 lbs. and the iron crank was 56 lbs. It didn't take me long to scratch that idea!
