Thread: Questions about a 1986-1994 block I would like to purchase.

all sbc with tower s in the lifter valley can be used as a GM roller engine with stock parts for a roller engine with the right push rods. hold down cam . cam retainng plate timming set .lifters/ track bars . cam gear

I thought that what the towers were for. Now the question I was getting at is, "Can I use the current lifters and push rods from my current engine in this block OR do I have to use the roller set up.

And my current set up is as follows (which runs pretty well)

030 block w/flat tops and standard 5.7 rods
Pro comp heads which were cleaned up and ported ect.
Edelbrock dual plane intake w/ 1 inch spacer
Roller rockers
comp cams 305 mag solid cam
750 HP series Holley
Msd Ignition 34degrees total advance w 6/al box
Super comp headers
2500 stall converter
3.73 gears

What I was considering changing was the solid cam I have now (Which I think is too big) to a Lunati 60140 or 60141
I was going to install a single plane intake as the dual plane isn't matched to my combo as far as I am concerned
And I was thinking about installing a small Sniper NOS kit and spraying 100-125 just to maybe put it in the high 11s. if that seems doable.
I like to be able to drive the car around and have fun, so I figure the spray is an easy way to cheat, and it isn't soo much that it will distroy the engine used
once in awhile. Am I on the right track? Opinions please.

As I said, if it were not for the lack of oil presure,I wouldn't even toy with the car as It runs pretty well, but if I am going to pull it apart, might as well change some things I don't like.

Another idea was to get a 383 stroker kit, but that might be more than I want to spend right now. Will it make that much of a difference on the street with a stroker verses a well built 355? If so, I was told to look into a kit from Ohio Crankshaft or Scat. Do I need it internally balanced> Suggestions? tech Inspector has a dyno program. Maybe if you are reading you could toss me some ideas as you seem to be on the ball with this stuff.
It is a 69 camaro.
