396 big block
i've posted in a few forums before this one and have had no luck. i hope i will get some feedback here! i have a stock 396 that i want to rebuild to acheive 400 to 450 hp which shouldn't be difficult at all. i can't decide what size of cam to put in!? this would be my first engine re build as i specialize in body work but mostly painting. what brands are good and what parts would you put in it to get that much hp? any website suggestions as well. i figure with a slightly bigger cam, heads, and intake i should get the hp i want. the car will mostly be driven on city streets. maybe drag a few times. any opinions!?
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. ...
