I have started gathering parts to build a large journal 302. This is the engine this car needs to really work. The 350 is made to move a truck, where as a 302 makes the best balance of HP and torque. Ya the parts are expensive about 3 times the cost of a 350 but you only live once. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I'll keep you V-8 guys posted! |

Did I miss something; I didn't see mention of him wanting to spin to 8500RPM. That will be an expensive valvetrain; if you want it to last that is.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) You're right; my bad. Kept re-reading the thread and paid no mind to it's title. Sorry, had a senior moment there! Andys PS: wbergtho is right on with the gearing comment. That 930 gear spread is well suited to a torquey motor. I vote you stay with a nice 327 or 350 and not worry about huge and expensive RPM. FWIW. |
