I'm hoping to stay below 10.5 honestly. As much as I'd love the horsepower, the amount of work some of my friends go through to properly and...
You know what.. I looked at those too.. And I guess before i buy any pistons I'm going to just get the heads and see whats going on with those....
Looks like i ended up ordering these guys! :bananaman http://www.summitracing.com/parts/slp-8kh273cp40 So hopefully the block can be decked...
Haha. That's the best news ive heard all posts! :P Anyways, should i go with those heads or some 1966 289 Hi-Po heads with screw in studs,...
Yeah. Luckily I got the heads back before they charged me for them so luckily I didn't pay for the tank. For the block though, I will be paying...
Yeah, that's what it seemed to me too. That's why I bought my own piston and rings. I just could only find a pin height of 1.605. Is that going to...
Hearing that worried me too. I thought pin height seemed to be everything. So the best affordable pistons i could find had a pin height of 1.605....
But the machine shop seems to believe that the pin height doesnt really matter.. Is this true? Also found a pair of late model roller 351W heads...
For the first question, i originally stated about 800 as a finish budget for the engine, but it could go any further honestly up to maybe even...
Wow! They *really* go all-out with that camshaft. I never knew they payed attention to the exhaust and cfm rating on the carburetor. That's really...
Yeah, I was leaning towards not buying them until I got closer to that point cuz I figured by that time somebody else would come along and have...
Okay disregard my last post. It seems like most of the GT40 heads have been sold so I'm left with the option here. Now they say they're cobra...
You think so? His car seems so much smaller and lighter. Especially without the 150lbs bumpers.. By the way, anybody know where to find the 71...
My dad was a huge drag racer as well, and he was probably the best mechanic i'd ever met. He taught me a lot, and his stories were always amazing...
I have several machine shops nearby that take about 10 minutes to drive to so i got lucky with that, but i only have one that i really trust well....
I'll definitely give them a call and take the cookie-cutter cam back. (It's already been shipped back) so Then I'll see what else the budget...
I agree with the budget thing completely. When i first started i set a budget of like $800 and so far it looks like i might end up going over, but...
Okay, well i found a set of cast iron GT-40 (3 Bars) heads on craigslist that have "low miles" for $250. I'm not sure what I'd have to do to them...
So far I've found a set of rebuilt E7's for $350. Is that a decent price? And if I was to get these E7's what kind of lift and cam should I get...
I've come to notice that last part for myself. I'll see if it will cost extra to completely do those heads because as on now they're just charging...
