Ok so I'm building this for my swinger, it is for the strip, but street legals so I'm not looking for the most expensive answers, just the most practical.
Here's what I (think I) know, and what I have.
1980 360 cop engine:
4006830
BORE 4.000"
STROKE 4.000"
ROD LENGTH 6.123"
MIN. CLEARANCE .0015"
COMP. HT. 1.465"
PIN DIAMETER .9842"
CRANK CL TO DECK 9.599"
WT.PISTON/PIN 483/132g
J Heads:
596
Intake 1.88
Exhaust 1.60
66cc
open chamber
Carb:
9811
Carter Competition
800cfm
bore 1-3/8
Headers:
Hooker competition
Stock rebuild kit:
Bearings, seals, rings, push rods, oil pump, frost caps- all stock and came with it so I'm not attached.
Here's where it gets confusing
I kinda wanna keep the heads but don't mind changing the components unless it's just way cheaper and easier to pick up magnums and the gains will be significant without a $600 cam
Intake manifold:
None and undecided, Air gab maybe? spread? single plane? dual plane? Seing as how the Carb is a Carter I should prbly stick with Edelbrock.
Overbore:
Should I? Would this be productive considering it's the compression I want to raise?
Nitrous:
Yes
Amount = I don't know, how much can it take?
Cam:
machine stock or:
?????
about all for now, need to answer these before I can decide on pistons and such,
Wife is yelling have to go, any clarification just ask and I'll try,
Thanks!
