I just picked up the old top end parts of my cousins 69 327 there was about 5k on the engine when we built up th top end. Any way I bought the weiand Accelerator intake and stock heads (1.94/150 valves) and a Mallory unilite dist. The car actually ran pretty strong with the single plane intake. I'm planning on using these on my 355 that is going into my 63 gasser. I know the heads are not real good but they will have to do until I can get a set of better heads ( I know a guy that will port them for some beer) with a four hole spacer and crane 278 cam .467 lift and 222* duration. I'm going to get the heads surfaced and add flat top pistons (approx 9.5:1 comp) would this be a decent combo or will I be REALLY disappointed???

What kind of power are you trying to get?

 

[1963duce100]

enough to have fun, no real big numbers about 350 or so would be nice

I'm thinking up to 325 with stock ported heads and 350+ with aftermarket heads Dart iron heads????

Thinking this may make a better cam combo

Don't know how your heads will compare to those used in Comp Cams "basic builds" but here is some info for you... http://www.compcams.com/Technical/DynoSheets/

In a light 63 Nova with the right gear this might be a hoot! I have to agree that 300-325hp might be what your looking at also depends on your altitude. I live at 6000ft and give away about 20% before getting out of bed.

As long as you are going to rework the heads I have a new set of stainless 2.02&1.6 valves $95 including shipping from a project I didn't finish also have a new cam & springs too.PM me, I'll :welcome: make you a killer package deal!

Dart S/R torquers may be on the list if I'm not happy with the power numbers

OK I just checked the heads I just bought they are "487" with 1.94 valves. If I gasket match them with the comp 230/.480 cam as stated above this should make a decent combo???
