Starting my parts gathering

How much are you willing to spend?

On my 318, I'm using the stock bottom end, (crank, rods, pistons) I just honed the cylinders, installed new rings and bearings, added a MP windage tray utilizing the stock passenger car oil pan. For a cam I used the Edelbrock Performer RPM cam and lifters (not the best choice, but it's all I had and didn't want to buy a new cam). I used a comp cams timing chain with a magnum engine timing chain tensioner.

For the top end, I didn't skimp out. I went with a set of RHS heads complete from Brian at IMM Engines. I had to do this to get my compression up to about 8.85 to 1. lol I went with a set of Hughes 1.5 roller rockers and an Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold with a Holley 600 spreadbore on top. I also am using the MP viscous fan package to free up some horse power. This combo should all be good for about 325 HP maybe a little more. My limiting factors are my low compression and the edelbrock cam...

I'm using 355 gears with a 3000 stall 11" converter from PTC.
