360 build. Need advice
I dont want to run a single carb and be like everyone else. not many people build up a scamp and since its a different car its gonna have a different setup
A 360 in the Scamp will be enough to surprise them, you really do not need to run the dual quads. But it is your car and your build...
for street driving, I would recommend keeping the cam in the 260° - 280° duration range.
Take the stock 1.88" valve heads and have your head guy put in hardened seats in the exhaust valves and open up the intakes to the 340 2.02" intake valves. You can buy valves at Mancini racing. A little mild porting would help.
Keep the compression in the 9.0 - 9.5 range so you can run the cheap pump gas..
A set of Rhoades varaible duration lifters will help keep the cam more streetable and help with low end power and smoother idle.
You can also put a windage tray in it for higher rpm. Mancini sells them also.
If you plan on revving it over 6 k have it balanced.
If you don't have a local head guy, I know one in Michigan that does great work at decent prices.
