Want to starrt ordering parts, Need some help here!!
O k guys.
Thanks for all the help in other areas with my questions.
I am hoping to build a little stronger than stock motor which should produce about 500ish or so hp when dynoed. This is the goal.
I do want to use pump gas. I am not looking for an all out race motor, but a good, strong, dependable motor that will produce decent numbers.
I would like to use my stock heads but this may not be possible. I am starting with stock heads from my '95 7.5 litre (460) motor.
Questions:
1) Can I use my stock heads for this? If not, what heads would be best for this?
What info is needed to answer this question? I know nothing about them other than they are stock for this truck.
2) I am assuming I need a new cam. What cam would be good for this application? i.e. What lift and duration would be good to look at?
3) Assuming I am using this cam from question # 2 what valves, springs, rockers, seals pushrods..... etc. would be the best for this application? Should I go with roller rockers?
4) After making these changes do I need to change my stock intake, or will it flow enough air for the above cam and head setup?
With this motor, I am a newbie. I am not sure what to do or where to go in this project.
Any and all technical help will be greatly appreciated!!!!
I am sort of on a budget. I don't want to spend more than $ 1500 to $ 2000 on the total project. Less is good very good. Gives me more money for race improvements on my other car..
I am doing a complete rebuild. I am not opposed to boring out the cylinders or porting the heads if I need to.
MY thoughts on this ( as in everything I do) I want the highest quality for the best price I can get. I am not opposed to spending more for good quality parts if they are needed, but i don't want to willy nilly spend money and end up with 10K in a motor for a work, farm, daily driver.
If you answer, I will check everything out before I order and will probably ask you more questions until I fully understand what I am doing and why!!!
Thanks in advance, for helping me and putting up with what may be some very stupid questions, but I want to do a good job on this and I really do need help to understand what I am doing.
Thanks
Charlie
