555ci bore vs stroke
Hi all, I am looking at starting a new engine combo for my 34 strip car. Just wondering what your suggestions are on bore and stroke combos for a 555Ci BBC. I was going to run a 4.560" bore and a 4.250" stroke. Would I be better off running more stroke and less bore? This car will purely be for the 1/4 mile. I will be running a solid roller with approx. 268 @ .050". Comp will be around the 13:1 mark. I will be running a glide with a converter at around the 5000rpm mark.
Also, I have a pair of Pro Topline cast iron heads, I think they're 360cc and flow up around the 400cfm mark. Should I use these or should I buy a good set of alloys?
Thanks in advance.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
