Thread: Hello Everyone!

Tweet

New here,stopped by to say hello.I`m building a 69 Camaro,it has a 327,350 tranny.This is my frist build.It going to take awhile to get it done,not much time to work on it.I`ve got the front end rebuilt,brakes done all around,new trunk lid,front left fender,and header panel.Saving up for more parts right now.The driver side has got all the body work done.Thinking of what to do with the motor.

Welcome Funderburg. It's all in the combination. What characteristics do you want? How do you want the motor to behave? What will be it's use 90% of the time? What type and quality of fuel will it operate on? Is manifold vacuum important (power brakes and other vacuum-operated devices)? Had you planned to use a looser-stall converter so you could run more cam? More cam requires more static compression ratio.

Wecome aboard.

Welcome, lots of knowledgeble Chevy guys here to help(not me, I'm a ford guy and not too knowledgeble! ) Great site, friendly folks.

Thanks for the welcome guys,Cool site!Learned a few things already.

The car will be for the street mainly,but want it to have power and be a tire smoker.I love the sound of a big cam.93 oct. is the best pump gas around here.Vacuum is not a big thing,school brakes for now,but will have vacuum advance.The motor has been punched out to 30 over. It has flat tops and camel humps.Will go with a stall if needed.Maybe a set of alum. heads
