Shawnlee28 that's a cool build . But this engine will be built on more of a budget . I am trying to build this one at no more then $1000 Bucks . I did think I could do this because I had a set of #186 fuelly heads that were re-done
Well I marked and removed all the Valves to do some pocket porting . And what did I find ? When the machine shop in-stalled steel valveguides . They cracked just about every guide boss
They ruined a good set of fuelly heads with the front bolt holes . And they put them together that way
I don't know what shop did this . They came off a 355 rebuilt never run engine . The good thing I only payed $350.00 for the long block . The same guys that did the heads put a BB Chevy oil pump on that 355 . That engine would not even turn over all the way . The crankshaft was hitting the BB pump ! Well Now I am looking to buy a set of 1969 #441 heads from one of the guy on this site . They have 194/150 valves with 73cc Chambers . I will also buy a set of standard cast flat top pistons and ARP rod bolts . I will have the rods re-built and the pistons pressed to the rod . And run a .016 head gasket Trying for 9.1 C/R . Still not sure what cam I will use . But it will be less then 460 lift .

time for a new forum to visit. when they sold sr.com it went down hill fast. no more forum just a cheap site selling junkie cars. the canadians killed hr.com. mods are real pricks. as with any site...
