well just worked out what compression ratio the old engine had 8.5 to 1 when it should be around 10.5 to 1 well but using flat tops i should have 10.5 to 1 . with the head i decided to stay with the stock head using a aluminum head could lead into more problems with oil and water leaks as these aluminum heads do have problems with head gasket leaks on cast iron blocks so puting one on a aluminum block i would be asking for trouble cast iron heads can be overheated with out damaging them not like the aluminum ones u get the reall hot and there gone. so the plan is for me to port the head and fit new stainless vavles and replace valve springs retainers and locks fit screw in studs and guide plates and teflon vavle stem seals tripple springs and a thicker 3/8 pushrod and roller rockers also im using a head stud kit instead of bolts so my mind is made up on the top end
now the bottom end speed pro hyper tech pistons and rings new big ends and main bearings thje con rods will get cleaned up resized and new hd rod bolts the bores r perfect so a rebore is not needed a full engine balance as well
now with the camshaft i dont think i can get a new billet one for it if anybody knows where i can get one please let me know so at the moment i will regrind it it will be a solid grind not a race one but something that will make good tork from 2000 to 5000 rpm the reason im going solid is the head will be set up for it and with a sloid u make more power than a hydrulic of the same spec
now the intake im just going to cut it and weld a 4 barrel flange on it and fit a holley 600 that i will mod and jet to suit the engine they way im doing this is to fit a air and fuel ratio metre on the exhaust to get a readind of fuel mixture i fit them on alot of car engines i build and u will be surprized how learn most engines run so all jeting can be done on the water i also am getting a petronix kit as well as suggested by u guys
i also need a bigger valve cover cause i dont think the rollers will fit under it
ok guys u probly wonder why im always on here well i havent work for 17 years due to health so i get pretty bored so thats what im up to on my engine
i also got a quote from summit racing and im giving the guys down here to try and match there price have i bored u yet well im not lol
