That's what I was thinking from the beginning. Still got a few questions.. 1. I want some upgrade in cams? What should I look for in a cam? Lobe size? Degree etc? Nothing huge but I want some more power. 2. What kind of piston head should I use? Better off with dished pistons or flat top? 3. I understand I will need .020 over pistons, but how will I adjust the length of the stroke so I don't have piston to valve clearance issues with resurfaced heads? Thicker gaskets? Dished pistons?
Before I can help answer some of that, what's your ultimate goal for the motor? N/a forced induction. Mild or wild?
No more than like 4500 probably. Like I said, I'm not racing the thing, but if I'm rebuilding one, I might as well throw in some upgrades as well. I'd be satisfied with 300hp after a tune, but more Is better
When I got my trans back they used stock 1600-1800 TC I THINK. Not 100% on that but its not too high of a stall. I'd like to not have to get a new one but I will if I need to.
You'd have to go pretty mild to keep that converter. As far as cams if you're wanting a pretty mild motor You'll want probably around 500ish lift and not a huge amount of duration like 265ish or less also love separation for a lower rpm motor stick with 109* or less. Is there a specific set of cams you're looking at?
Haven't really shopped around for cams yet. Swapping TCs won't be a big deal and theyre only like 200-300 bucks and its not like I need to know right away this engine still has to get built. I need to start with my bottom end though because that's what has to go in first.
