"fuelie" sbc 400
Hello,
I have a couple parts and a problem
I have 400 block (#509), cast rotating assembly, 461 heads, 2500, stall th-350 w/shift kit, 9" with riduculus dirt track gears (yes I intend to run a solid spool)
The parts are for a 85 monte (stripped to about 2800 pounds), that we recently put a 350 in with a mild cam,
stock 441 heads and a 650 carb=not fast.
THE PROBLEM- I am making a street street strip car. The problem I'm having is in PICKING A CAM. Unsure of a safe rpm? there are z-28 springs in the heads, I would like to get right to a half inch of lift but don't know if that's safe? What type of intake should I run? The car has 1-5/8 long tube headers, am I going to need bigger ones? What gears should I get?
I am trying to stay on a budget any information is great!
Thanks
Is it going into a build, or making a trip to NM?
