The engine is sitting in the car as a permanent feature...I hope. This is a fully balanced 351W. lucky for me it was a standard bore, now +.40.Heads are mild ported and fitted with 1.6 Roller rockers, which are sitting on screw in studs. When using a cam with a large amount of lift and the valve spring are quite hard to compress. There is a tendency to pull the original pressed in rocker studs out of the head.
For added strength a Head stud kit is used I'm not running allot of compression but the studs fell within my budget. The cam is a COMP cam grind No. FW 280h-10, or part No. 35-226-3.
The inlet manifold is an Edlebrock, RPM AIR-GAP. It specs are from 1500 to 6500 rpm which will work well with this cam. Carbie is a Holley Street Avenger. 670 cfm vac sec. Fuel to the engine is through a Carter electric CAR-H4600P, 100gph 6-8 psi. water pump is Holden Red with large pulley mount. To give the maximum amount of clearance between pump and radiator. I'm going to run an 18" thermo fan.
But wait There's more..........
