drag engine build
Hi Guys
got a few questions for you's Im building a 460 engine to be used for drag racing. this is a list of parts i plan on using....please reply to if im on the right track and if im missing something that i should be doing, yes, this is a kinda low dollar engine
- 460 block bored out .030
- heads are D3VE-A2A ( ported and polished )
- Keith Black flat top pistons
- stock crank and rods
- weiand tunnel ram with a pair of 600 holleys
- Comp cam .672 lift intake and .679 exhaust lift
duration numbers are .050 in lift at 245 degrees on the intake and 260 degrees on the exhaust with 110 degrees of lobe seperation ( PN.34-000-9 )
this is a solid roller cam because there is not a radical enough hyd cam out there for this engine but i will be using a set of hyd crane roller lifters ( they will match...its been proven. )
- 1.73 roller rocks.
- 1 7/8 headers
This engine will be run with a C6 trans with a 3500 stall converter.
The car is a 75 mustang cobra gutted and tubed
Will this be a good combonation?..is there something else i should consider?
any advice is good advise
Thanks
Rick
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
