Guys,

I do not like where this thread is going. So, if you can assist the original poster great.


if not, please do not muck up his thread with anything else.


Thanks,

Guy's I'm serious here. I know pretty much what I have to do here. I don't know if I need to put bigger valves in these781 heads or not. the machinist I talked to said all I may have to do is put in some good flowing valves. About 6000'00 is all this motor will be turning at best. I've priced a rotating assemble from scat for a 496 build. It cost around 1600.00 dollars. This should help immensely for a power gain. The two cames I have are in question. From what I have read on the 540 lift cam it will be better if I drive it on the street for vacume purposes for brakes and so forth. But I don't have vacume operated brakes on my Nova. I may need the added braking power to stop it though. The 650 solid lift cam doesn't start working till about 3000 grand I think. My 3500 stall may not be enough either. What gears do I use is another question. I was thinking 4.11 gears.
