Well im going to build my first motor for my car under the supervision of my dad who has been building for years...
Its a 1973 400 that i picked up for cheap and is stock as far as i know of. what i want to do is keep it as practical and realiable as possible. this is what i have so far
Heads: Stock with a port and polish 1.94/ 1.50's (maybe step up to 2.02/1.60's depending on what machine shop says)
I want to keep the CR around 9.5:1 but im wondering how i go about that.
Pistons: not sure on what brand yet but im looking for some affordable Flat tops
Carb: I have a rebuilt 750cfm Q-jet works great
Intake: i have a brand new edelbrock performer rpm
Exhaust: Flowtech headers, into turbo's through duals
and for the cam i was thinking of a
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy Xe262h, says it operates from 1300-5600rpm and has .462/.469 lift (just wondering if this cam is to small or what? suggestions?)
is there anything im missing or vital i should look into? suggestions?
help is greatly appreciated as this is my first build
