406
right now i have come up with my combo for my street/strip 406. its going into a 68' camaro with t350 and with a 12 bolt with 3.90 gears. i don't have a lot of money(just like everyone else)so i'm using what i have laying around. my vortecs have very small intake port volume of a 170cc and still have 1.94/1.50 valves. i know that volume is too small, so i'm going to gasket match and try to open the port to 180cc and add bigger valves(2.02/1.60). i'm going to run a solid cam with 232/232 dur. .480 lift in/ex. this should give me power to 6000rpm. i do have one problem, but not serious. my 400 crank turns out to be turned down 383 stroker crank, which means it has 350 mains size (2.45) compared to a 400(2.65) so i'm thinking of using a 377 stroker main bearing spacers, but is it worth it? or should i just buy eagle 400 crank? the running 1 5/8 headers with 750cfm holley vac sec carb. the intake is a edelbrock rpm. and my cmpression is 10.25:1 which is borderline, but i think i can get way with running pump gas. if anyone has suggestions or comments, your imput would be appreciated!
The Australians have finally discovered the origin of the word 'Vegan.' Apparently it's an old Aboriginal word for 'Bad Hunter.'
