New engine build advice
Some of you may have read my previous thread that my most recent engine build was not successful. Well since this is a do over I am sending another block to the machine shop, it is already a thirty over bore I really hope it can just be honed do not want to bore it as I have heard there can be issues with boring a block to much, cooling issues mostly. Anyways to the point I am putting this in a 1979 Chevrolet 4 wheel drive, automatic 350 turbo transmission, 3:73 gears, gm axles for now will up grade later. My last engine set up was almost all top end very little low end unless it was in 4 low. I want to increase the low end torque on this motor looking at using a comp cam part number 12-249-3 here is a link to the specs 12-239-3 - Xtreme 4 x 4, I already have the cam that is part of the reason for the use, so I would like to build the rest around the cam if possible. I would like to get some suggestions on build options and other products to build with so that I can get this one right.
