What I have decided so far for my street build: (thanks to all of you on the forum )
Head: D8. Done! Given the full Handbook treatment! 2V conversion, 3-angle, backcut, .075 milled, 1.5 exhaust, ported
Carb: In hand! Autolite 2100, 1.08. 48 jets.
Cam: Ordered! Schneider 256/256. duration 204/204 at .050. Lift .420/.420 Lobe separation 112
Headers: Speed Daddy duel outlet
Ignition: DSII. Bill is waiting for some final decisions to be made and then he will have it to re-curve
What I still need to decide:
Pistons: Still listening to all input on stock vs. flat top. Last time I asked for feedback you didn't know what cam I was going to end up with. Now you do! Keep in mind the head is milled and the block will be zero decked and bored .030 so my compression is already getting up there. But I live at 6000+ feet!
Rockers: I figure I'll just re-use my 1.5 rockers and pushrods. Schneider is sending me new lifters. Am I leaving low end power on the table by not upgrading my rockers?
Anything else I am not thinking of? Block gets pulled next weekend! This is FINALLY HAPPENING!! (it's been 19 years since I inherited this car from my mom!)
