  1. Saved 500$ going with an eagle crank, its .10 undersize on the rods.. factory regrind.

     

    Machine shop checked it out and saw no flaws, I'm happy.

     

    I might switch my rods over to scat I beams because the h beams are bigger in an already really tight fit.. we'll see in the next few weeks what happens.

  5. Few things

     

    * my jtr manual is on loan

    * sold my 700r4 driveshaft before measuring It

    * the th350 is a 6" tailshaft

    * my motor, differential, and trans are removed from the car.

     

    Could someone please post up how long your driveshaft is for me. I currently have no way to measure mine.. ill be shopping around for quotes shortly.

     

  6. You should probably 10.5 compression with those cams, if its mostly street / autox go for high low-mid hp/tq.

     

    Your car is limited to 5500 which makes all 3 of those cams useless, you're only getting half the potential out of them.

     

    The car will drive like crap on thw street until you reach the optimal rpm for each cam.

     

    Try for .460 to .480 lift and around .215 to .225 duration at .50

     

    You'll enjoy it much more

  7. Are you looking for a complete dressed motor? You can reuse your alternator, starter, and waterpump that will save you money.

     

    I'm looking at longblocks, not complete motors.

     

    You said you wanted polished / chrome parts. Which implies you would be buying a new intake manifold and valve covers anyways.

     

    As for your power goals. Build it yourself. Find a machine shop and get a bare block that has been magnafluxed, bored, honed, and line honed. Have them install cam bearings.

     

    I got my block for free and paid 350$ for the service.

     

    I had my heads rebuilt with new valves, seats, springs etc etc from lunati for 600$

     

    I spent 200 on an intake, 550$ on a carb

     

    Flexplate and balancer were 100$ paired

     

    Crank was 600, rods were 300, and my pistons were 300

     

    Oilpan was 60$ (I think) from kmj, and my msd dizzy was 350$

     

    Lunati cam was 125 I think

     

    Thats ~3600$ after misc gaskets. I reused a few parts too. (Alternator, dizzy, starter, valve covers)

     

    It made 525hp and 647tq at 6200 rpm.

     

    This was my first build and I sold it to my boss, its currently in his circle track car and has the piss beaten out of it nightly.

     

    All you need is hand tools and a good torque wrench

  8. Well, most any v8 ia going to be 5500-6000 rpm redline with cast internals.. lots of variables with rod / piston / crank but I wont get into that aspect.

     

    If you're more worried about appearance just invest in a dress up kit..

     

    You can spend 6grand on a speedshop motor... or 3k on a crate engine and then invest 3-500$ in fancy chrome
