SM Head Install... forgetting anything?

DentalDart said

@74Scooter just a 30 over 340, hooker headers 2.5in exhaust, xe268h camshaft, 750 holley carb, air gap, 3.23 gears w/ sure grip, 904 trans w/ shift kit and 2500 stall rebuilt stock torque converter. Now w/ the CNC SM heads. Pretty basic build. Been trying to get my hands on other things but Im cheap and poor lol.

Work with what ya got and what you can afford ain't new to anyone with this hobby who is not independently wealthy...lol. Trying to not go off the deep end when I put the Promaxx heads on my 360.... I'd like to still be married at the end of the day too.

Your build is very similar to my 360LA, .030 over, TTI shorty's, 268H cam, Weiand Action Plus intake(will be installing Air Gap), 625 Demon carb, 727 stock stall and 2.76 open rear.. it's a cruiser. I ordered 63cc heads and will likely use a thinner head gasket to bump the compression from the stock 8.x to 9.x because why not as long as I'm in there. I also picked up a set of Mancini's Harland Sharp 1.6 ratio roller rockers which should increase the valve lift to approx .480 intake and exhaust... nothing radical.

Keep us update on your progress, lots of useful info in this thread.
