    Have you tried going back to the shop that built the engine for the PO? That would be my first step, after going back to the PO to see if he kept any paperwork on the car/engine...

    Ken,
    If you search through TechInspector1's posts (there's a bunch!!) you're going to see over & over again that choosing components for best fit to your wants & needs all starts with the deck height and gasket thickness, compression ratio (piston specifics, combustion chamber design/head selection), which guides the cam selection, which guides the intake & carb selection which all together leads to a predictable power output in the rpm range where you want it. When you start
    swapping things around in the later stages without first knowing the answers to the first key pieces (squish & compression ratio) you're rolling the dice and may well be burning $100 bills one after another, throwing your money away. Here's one recent post from Tech that I really liked - What to do
    There's a few other guys that hang around here that can give you good guidance too (love Glenn Sexton's engine build posts, too!!), but if you want to know the who/what/where/when of getting your engine to the place you want it you cannot go wrong listening to Richard, IMO.
    techinspector1 and NTFDAY like this.

    There's no substitution for cubic inches!

    what does 1 PS in it mean?

    And having the 396 on the side, not being hurt, will pay dividends somewhere in the future.
