I finally have settled on my motor build due to cost and availability for the most part.
I changed my mind on a 4" bore for the 283 and went .060,which is a 292 c.i.
Here's what I have to work with,for the time being,,,again due to lack of funds and trying to be practical for a street vehicle(weekend toy).
Ported 305HO heads,silvolite pistons that are a miserable .040 in the hole,a 9.0:1 CR;a clevite copy of a L79 cam with .447 lift,300 duration.I have to choose between a Offy 360 or an older Torker 1 intake with either a holley 600 or a 650 double pumper.
I am thinking that this setup should make it very streetable but yet want as much out of it as possible.
What converter and rear gears would you use for the best accelleration in a 1/4 mile but not be to much for a little street driving?
Go ahead and criticize the heads and small c.i. motor if you must,,, but if you do then please suggest improvements that go with this build because for now,it's what I have.
