Help me build my 360!

If you want to make any kind of good compression those stock pistons have to go..if you go with a 4" stroker crank thats fine but a good set of stroker pistons are going to cost $500-$600,something to think about..i'll tell you what i did on my most recent build...

'77 360 block bored 30 over and decked
stock stroke crank nothing but a polishing
set of Eagle sir rods
set of speedpro pistons with valve reliefs(bought these at summit for $289 with the rings included)
this combo is still externally balanced with the b&m flexplate..
Lunati "voodoo" .513/.533 cam
Edelbrock heads(but if you don't have the money i'm sure a set of j,x's properly preped will work fine..
Air gap intake,if you already have the rpm thats an excellent manifold also..this combo has gone 11.79 in my duster this is just an example of what you can do....
