DoubleV said:I didn't bother to re-read this whole thread so I'm not exactly certain what your goals are for your build, but I can tell you that Edelbrock heads for an Olds small block is a poor choice unless you're building an engine up from scratch to build a high RPM screamer, and I don't think that's what you want. Just get a set of #5-7's.
I've heard Comp cams don't perform the best in an Olds, so I would look into a cam manufacturer that has a known good reputation for working well in Olds engines like Ultradyne/Bullet or Lunati. You cannot pick a cam either untill you know exactly what the rest of your combo will be.
If I were you, I'd come up with a realistic goal for what you're looking to achieve and come up with the best plan in how to get there. You need to determine what you're budget is ( that's VERY important obviously ) and determine how much work you're willing to put into your project and how much you're capable of doing yourself. You can dream, speculate, and post untill your hearts content, but in the end what are you REALISTICALLY going to have the money, skill, and time to accomplish?
So IMO, you should once and for all state exactly what you want ( choosing something you can realistically obtain ) and go from there. You need to settle on one thing instead of changing your mind all the time otherwise your project will constantly be put on hold and you'll never get anything done. Let's be honest, you started this thread almost 2 months ago and you haven't even started on it yet. That's not a good sign! How serious are you about this? If you're REALLY serious, we can help you, but if not then.....
Ha, thank you for the info but the extra could have been kept to your self just saying I am on the top end of my engine now that's why i asked a question about the heads and cam, I mean it's not like i'm building a NASCAR and i also feel your cosigning for the other guy you only dream to make it come true dreams are motivation to get what you want. I appreciate that you answered my question though and skill's i think i have i not handicap on mechanics but don't worry i will not ask anything else on this build since i'm getting negativity off my question..
