recomendations
Hi all, i have been lurking, learning and listening to alot of people but im in need of some help. I am going to rebuild my engine and i am in need of some recommendations. like cam, rods, and a few other things. let me give a description of what i am planning on using and what i want the car to do. the car is going to be fuel injected with mass air flow setup, using a built AOD transmission with about a 2400 stall. i will more than likely use a set of shorty equal length headers, but i have a set of long tube headers i can use as well (whichever is better). when i rebuild the engine i plan on using a stock, machined crank, forged pistons, heavily ported gt40p heads, roller rockers, a 302 truck lower intake, and a modified truck upper or im going to find a box style upper intake to fit the lower since the truck lower has bigger runners. im going to use 19lb injectors at first unless they are maxed out then i will go with a set of 24 lb injectors. this car will be a street car with a little bit of a drag strip time too. with a 2400 stall i would like the power band to be around 2000 - 6500 rpm.
phew..... that was long... oh btw sorry for such a long post but i figured u guys would need to know what im planning or else you guys wouldnt know what to recommend.
i would like to know what cam should i use. i dont think ill be going turbo/supercharged anytime soon, yet there is a possibility in the near future. if i do super/turbo the car, i will change the whole engine with it.
Also i would like to know what kind of rods i should use. get the stock ones reconditiond, or save my money and go with a set of i or h-beam rods. i dont know how much power i plan on making. i plan on having less than a 10:1 compression ratio, and i dont plan on ever spinning the engine faster than 6500, unless the spark box decides to take a dump.
again sorry its so long of a thread, but i figured i would throw all my info in at once instead of over 10 or so posts.
thanks, kevin
