New to the site with stupid questions...I have a 1966 pontiac bonneville that I have owned now for 26 years. Can finally afford to do a few mods...the engine is bone stock 400...no idea on heads or year 72-76 from some donor pontiac in Alaska.
will be a daily driver and family car and very basic horsing around in...
I am wondering if this hair-brained scheme of mine is sound:
Looking to add kit from e-bay:
K KIT INCLUDES:
51-600-9 THUMPER CAMSHAFT
857-16 HYDRAULIC ROLLER LIFTERS
2112 TIMING CHAIN SET
995-16 Valve Springs
740-16 Retainers
611-16 Valve Locks
503-16 Valve Seals
7775-16 Hi Tech Pushrods
Instructions
Assembly Lube
the specs on the cam are:
PART
NUMBER 51-600-9
Valve Setting in/ex hyd
RPM
Range 1700-5500
Cam Grind
Number 283THR7
Duration
adv: in 283
ex 303
@.050": in 227
ex 241
Valve Lift @ 1.5:1
in .513
ex .498
Lobe Sep.
Angle 107
Also looking to add:
Dual quad set up, idle to 5500rpms, dual 600cfm manual choke carbs with universal linkage.
Just wondering if this is reasonable to do...not looking to do any major machine work. This engine has 5000 miles on it and runs smooth on 89 octane...sluggish yes but smooth. Please advise. Thank you
