basics you need to know

[grumpyvette]

IM AMAZED at times by the newer guys that don,t seem to think the info, tools and books are necessary and money well spent!

NOTHING is more important to your success than knowing exactly why and how things work and what parts do and how they do it!

 

it will give you a good grip on the basics and concepts YOULL NEED too sellect the correct parts, it will prevent you spending hundreds of dollars neadlerssly on parts you don,t need,and the video book shows you step by step how to dissassemble & assemble a sbc

trust me YOU NEED to read the books and understand the concepts BEFORE buying parts and the $18 for any one book is well spent pocket change youll save many times over by not making mistakes BY KNOWING EXACTLY why and HOW things are done

 

your choice depends on budget and goals????

Id insist on finding a rotating assembly that was internally ballanced with ARP 7/16" rod bolts and good forged 5.7" or 6" rods with forged pistons, Id VASTLY prefer a forged crank, a 3.75" or 3.875" stroke and ID keep in mind that the heads will need to flow over 240cfm at .500 lift MINIMUM and the cam sellected will need to match both the drive train and compression ratio

 

 

 

 

buy these,

READ the books and watch the video. youll be FAR AHEAD, its a crash course in engines and will help you a great deal
