    help me out!!

     



    Ok, have an '82 (or something) Camaro that I took on trade. My significant other wants me to build it for her. Engine has been changed, the casting number on the block is 14101148, Mortec sez it's a one piece rear seal 350. It has the tall lifter bores, so that would make it a roller cam block, right? (Currently has non-roller hydraulic in it).

    Well, got to do some go fast stuff, thinking a roller cam, specs unknown (I'm a Ford guy) and a set of 200 cc runner aluminum heads (or thereabouts). The engine has to have good power, and still be very streetable. Can I get away with 10:1 compression, and how much cam will this thing want???? Also have a set of Hooker shorty headers, fairly equal on tube length going into a 2 1/2" 3 bolt flanged collector. Tranny is a 700R4.

    Thanks in advance for the help (and yes, I do expect a bit of abuse on this project, too!)
