318 build advise
Dear all,
Many thanks for your well appreciated feedback! (even if some sounds like Chinese to me :D ).
I had a run with the car yesterday and everything goes well (excepted a permanent « tick tick tick », sounds like a push rod issue or something like that, needs to be investigated).
The good news is i had a better price from the vendor so from a budget perspective i can go farther for first step enhancements.
Reminder, i’m a beginner on such engine so i want to go with "bot-on" upgrades at a first time (no mill etc...)
What i’m looking currently is to add the following: the goal remain to have a punchy street car with limited budget:
Engine :
- Edelbrock 60779 - Edelbrock Performer RPM Cylinder Heads
- Edelbrock 8555 - Edelbrock Head Bolt Kits
- Fel-Pro 1008 - Fel-Pro Performance Head Gaskets
- Pistons will remain stock
-> Does these heads makes sens to you according the build direction?
It will be the opportunity to change the cam. What’s your recommendation ?
It’s still really a pain to me to well understand what to do with rocker arms, valves and push rods - can we keep everything stock or upgrades are mandatory?
Exhaust : on-budget upgrades :
- Summit Racing SUM-680144 - Summit Racing® Header-Back Dual Exhaust Systems
- Summit Racing SUM-G9040 - Summit Racing® Headers
Gears will be reworked during next steps.
Thanks !
