So I have finally gotten around to pulling the engine out of my mustang and after pulling the head I see that it needs some TLC. I am going to rebuild her and have a few questions for you guys with 250s.
1. How does is the 274 cam working out for those that have it?
2. I was going to get an aluminum head a while back but I'm not sure my budget will fit it in; however, I'm not sure how much the machine work will be just yet for the head I have (69 250) how much have you guys spent rebuilding the head, bigger valves, 2v conversion, seats, and the exhaust devider?
3. What Pistons would be the best for this build? ( will be a weekend and some times during the week driver)
4. Have any of you pulled one of these engines apart and found some kind of metallic curd on the Pistons and on the chambers of the head? ( this is the reason I ask about Pistons)
5. Have any of you guys had any issues with duel exh. And starter clearance with the 250?
Those are all that I can think of right now, but I am sure I will have more. Also, to clear this up. I grew up in old muscle cars so a rough idle does not worry me at all. The car has a 3.03 and 3.00 gear right now. This stuff will be changed a little down the road, but for now I am working on the engine so once the car is back form the body shop I can get her put back together and have some fun.
One more question. How much have you guys paid for a performance build?
Thanks guys and gals.
