thanks!
All the above! Ive got a stand to put the engine on and we'll go thru it bit by bit Im gonna show him how to check clearences ect. we'l either use a degree wheel to see what the cam is thats in it or try to run numbers. Im assuming its got a mild flat tappet hydro cam in now may go to a solid roller or hydro roller. probbly work over the OE heads for now and get some cool aluminum ones later so we'r goin full on whith this I caint wait to see what we end up with

 

i think thats a great plan,im running the solid roller in my small block u will like it,even the hydr. rollers run good.yeah them factory heads should be fine for now maybe just some cleaning of the ports,gasket match it will make a big diffrence.

 

If you want to get taller VC you could get a 9" booster to compensate. Or ditch it all together for manual brakes. I fits though, that is the important part.

 

pulled a valve cover and got the head casting numbers 346236 which turn out to be plain ol openport heads with 2.06 intakes and 1.72 exhaust valves I repulled the block casting numbers 361959 which is car/truck not tall truck so we'r good there palying with comp cams cam selection software and dyno we should be able to get about 515peak HP with solid roller #xr280r cam with our EFI setup and a 3000 stall! we'll see I guess

 

that sounds like an awesome plan,ur gonna love solid roller,i love mine,it will give u nice lopey idle.thats gonna give it an aweasome upgrade,515 hp aint to shabby.

 

WOW didnt realize how long it has been since I was on here. been a busy spring/summer already well heres some pics of what weve been up to

 

more



and heres a snap of my mistress

front subframe is stripped and primered and ready for paint just waiting for me to have a free moment when the boy isnt off riding his warrior

 

All that hard work gonna pay off soon. Progress is looking good. How's the interior looking? That's where the money is at.

 

your tellin me! the center consol was hacked in half so need one ($300) carpet is actually pretty good except one tear hole under the pass engers seat (thinking of reusing it) the head liner has come loose from the linerboard but no tears (thinking of reglueing it) the dash was in one piece with the exception of one corner curling up and silly me gonna fixit it is now cracked at that point (Im open to suggestions one what to do with it) front seats were gone when we got the car so was thinking of some nice aftermarkets as the OE seats are made of gold (or so they are priced) and I can get some good ones off jegs or summit for about 300 for the set.
any how thats what Im thinkin what ya guys think

 

Looks like a good project there. Have you seen the Scat Pro Rally 1000 seats?
