Greetings and Happy New Year from the new guy to all of you out in hot rodder land.
At this point, I bring only a few questions to the table. Before, I ask them, let me throw out some info on what I am doing.
I have a 350 4 bolt main block that I just recieved back from the machine shop recently. The following things were done to this particular motor; bored .040 over, magnafluxed, main journals align honed, deck resurfaced, cam bearings and freeze plugs installed, and hot tanked. Final deck height came out to 9.025.
Other Useful Information:
The block (only) was given to me. I have to acquire/produce and or/purchase everything else; heads, pistons, rods, carb, distributor, etc. So far I have about $560.00 into the block for the machine work.
Still More Useful Information:
The car that this motor will be going in will be of the super high performance street type. No oval track racing, or drag car at this point. I want this to be a radical daily driver if I chose to do so.
Still Even More Useful Info:
This will be my first complete rebuild of a motor, although I have worked on engines my whole life. Putting it together should be fun . Getting the right parts is the delimma I face at this point. I have done a bit of research on certain parts for the rebuild, but I am still not sure which to get.
My questions:
1. Since I am not going to being screaming around the oval at 8000 rpm, could I get buy with just installing a set of ported stock chevy heads? I was initially thinking of getting the Dart iron heads with 215cc intake runners, but was not sure.
2. I was also leaning toward the Keith Black hyper.... type flat top pistons, (comp) roller cam, rockers, lifters.
3. What about the rotating assembly, any ideas with good results?
4. My last question is can anyone give me a list of parts they have used in their own machines that work good together to give me some additional ideas.
I very much appreciate any and all suggestions
