grumpyvette Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 OK whats your compression ratio going to be? rear gear ratio,trans? ETC. and what type cam are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HICKL Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 SB-Chevy 383 2-Piece Rear Seal Balanced Competition Assembly, Bore Dia.: 4.030'' Stroke: 3.750'' Rod Length: 5.700'' Piston Type: Flat Top @ -5cc Comp Ratio: 11.8:1 w/58cc Head, 11.0:1 w/64cc Head, 9.7:1 w/76cc Head This is straight from the JEGs website here: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category_10001_10002_22553_-1_10759 So I guess around 11:1. Rear gear ratio is 3.54, Built T5 tranns, Not partial to any particular cam mfg, was going to call them all to get advice like you recommended. Let me know your choice as well, I think you said something in a 230 duration before. Chances are my motor won't see much use over 6000 rpm so is solid lifter of any benefit? Again, mostly street highway driven with occasional 1/4 mile passes. Like lopey idle but can't be to radical for I spend a lot of time in stop and go traffic. Need some low mid torque.

Guest zfan Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Good choice, I went with almost the same package. 6" rod being the only real difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 post all your drivetrain and proposed engine specs and Ill run it thru my software and notes on similar engines, give you a few IDEAS now personally I prefer solid flat tappet cams as the best performance per dollar but let me know what YOUR looking for?
