5.7 5700 vortec power plant
Hey guys,
First time post here. I know this is mainly for hot rods but I was hoping somebody here could give me some input on a circle track motor. I am building an enduro car for next year on a budget and hope the following year to purchase a 602 crate. I have a bone stock 5700 sb motor. I have my vortec intake and carb ready to swap on. I know about the lift issue with the vortec heads and was wondering if somebody could direct me to a camshaft with the proper lift that will give me the kick I need in the rpm range for a half mile asphalt track. Also what other easy bolt ons I can add for some extra kick such as headers. I really appreciate any help you friends could give me. Please remember this is on a cheap as possible budget. Just getting my feet wet. I don't plan on doing any work on the heads until next year. This is going into a 85 Monte Carlo with a turbo 3 speed. Thanks again.
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
