Bottom end info?
As the bottom end is slowly being developed, I'm looking ahead for more answers. This much I know already for sure;
Bore will be standard 4.04
Pistons will be TRW 13:1's, if I run with my ported J heads w/1.88 intakes, heads cc'd true CR should be between 11:1 and 12:1
Crank will be standard stroke, either cast or forged, if it mics out OK.
The cam I was running (should I decide to reuse it; it's practically new) was an Automotive Alliance (????........I never heard of 'em either). Grind is as follows:
Lift: .450(I) .475(E) duration 298 (I) 308 (E) hydraulic tappets.
It was very lumpy (I like lumpy) and I had no complaints, but my machinist says today's cams are much better and we could possibly match the grind to the ported heads. Make any sense?
I am considering a six-pack setup, or the dual quad setup I mentioned in other threads, but present setup is Holley 650 DP on a Torker 340. Ignition to be determined. I'd appreciated your input.
