SBE 318 basic rebuild +CAM , INTAKE, HEADS, expectations?
UH OH! V/P gonna be low, tisk tisk tisk :)
not just low, but almost non existent.
And no pistons are mentioned, and no convertor is mentioned, nor are any gears, at least not in post #1; and a 74 is a bit of a porker.
and com'on, 4.56s in a streeter only trades one problem for another. Been there done that, max psi is infinitely better.
How many times is this gonna keep coming up?
For his pressure to be down where it is, at sealevel, with the factory cam, in at 48* Ica. the Compression ratio would have to be about 6.7
Change that Ica to 67*, and the pressure falls to an estimated 94psi, and Dallas at 500ft, will cost another 3psi.
If that is true; the heat of compression will be barely enough to light it off and idle, and
She's gonna be a dog, all the way to shift rpm.
Like I said, this must be a joke.
I said my piece, I'm not coming back.
