Shawn, it's all a matter of value for the money with me and I see a lot of value in this motor for the money. You can spend as much or as little as you want on a motor. You know that from hanging around here for as long as you have.
Heh ok Tech.... You are right! heh But yeah seriously you are. I don't know I just thought maybe I'd want more compression for better and bigger head's later on, etc. This is basically my father's hot rod kind of project so it's not all my money going into it. I have two other projects and this one is for him so for now we want a good 350 motor to build off of and use on the street and slowly add better heads, dress it up, cam, etc.
What is the stock cam size on a 350 anyways? This I don't know, I don't know the stock sizes on cams of motors or what like one or two steps up from stock is either. I am going to have to start learning this part next.
I will check those two other links out as well thanks a lot!
