Ok here is my problem, about a month ago I purchased a 355 which was running, the guy I bought the engine from conned me. he said the engine was too much for his son- long story. anyways the engine was in thecar, and it sounded great.
once I got the engine home and did a compression check, posted the #'s grumpy said it was in the 12-1 range. it had a set of 305 ho heads on it, shaved .040 head #416.
further inspection of the block shows scoring of the # 4 cylinder wall.
so now I need to rebuild.
here is where I need help. I am planning on purchasing a set of summit .060 over -5cc flat top pistons. the cam I am planning on running is this cam:erson cam.
E113421 Street and Strip. High-lift, dual pattern. Rough idle. Good mid and top-range horsepower.
Needs 4-barrel intake, headers and lower gears. OK with automatic and 3,000 RPM stall
speed torque converter. 9:1 compression or more.2,800- 296° IN 228° IN .472" IN 110° 4° .000" IN
6,200 TQ50H 306° EX 235° EX .472" EX .000" EX
I returned the tri y I purchased from edl and purchased eld rpm air gap,
I dont have the money for the heads I want, put a machine shop has another pair of 305 heads for 250, fresh valve job.
if I put this engine together like this , with the crappy 305 heads will it run decent untill I can get the set of heads I want.
this has turned into more of a headache then I planned.
thanks for the help.
