Compression Question
To start I just purchaced an 88 Silverado C-15 truck with no engine or tranny so I'm in the process of building an engine now, so far all I have is a 350 block, bored .030 over, 3.480 stroke stock crank, stock deck height, with 4 valve relief flat top pistons. My question is about the heads I want, I'm going to get a set of world products s/r torquers with 2.02 and 1.6 valves, 170 cc intake runners and was wondering if I should go with the 67 or 76 cc chamber head?
So basically where would my compression be with the 67 or 76 cc head, and if needed what size or thickness of gasket should I run???
When the compression is sorted out what would you recommend for a carb, cam, and intake?? I,m thinking about the edelbrock torker intake with the edelbrock 600-700 performer carb, just not sure on the cam yet, but I don't want one with over 290 duration or .510 lift, I like the lunati cam with 285 duration and .507 lift just not sure about the 108 lsa, also like comps xe 274, and magnum 286. The truck will have a turbo 350 or 400 tranny with around a 3.42 or 3.73 gear ratio, it will be street driven but mostly on the weekends, may hit the 1/4 once every few months. Thanks for Info
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
