well i have Ga"s. So i guess these are decent. my pops said he had these PnP'd, i was thinking of gettin a full roller setup. anyone know if there is like a full kit or any advice? like i said really not to familiar with this engine but anxious to learn.
Im a ford tech so thats pretty much my story there. lol but i guess even the ford guy has a gm packed away somewhere. thanks for the help guys and hope i dont bug anyone with the questions.
Well the only benefit he will really get from that is that he can run the cheap oil without worrying about a flat cam.. Plus the cam can be more aggressive..
UPDATE:
Majority of the short block is back together, sans oil pan. I'm only working on this one night a week, I think I've made pretty good progress. By next monday it should be completely assembled.
My cleaned pistons.
My oil pan (7qt)
Putting the block back together...
And my heads...
If all goes well, there should be a completed engine pic to put up next week! It will be painted soon after.
Well I finally got back down to the shop this Monday, although I had to fix a massive vaccum leak on the truck and put on an alternator before I could start on the engine.
I started by painting my W-Z manifolds with high heat (1500 degree) black paint.
All I really got done tonight was to get the heads on and to mock up the engine a little.
The transmission should be going to be rebuilt sometime soon, and I should have a complete motor in not too long...
Summer is fast approaching
I'm just curious as that Lunati cam seemed like it had about the right specs at around 280-290 duration especially with a tight LCA. Overlap is good for big blocks. Especially ones with not so big intake valves.
That is still small for a big block (2.19s are common on 454s) which is partly why ported heads are so important on a bbo. Overbore & cylinder notching can help as well.
