Block is cracked, questions

i saw it only lifts 512 too which would allow me to keep the stock afr springs.

It's been awhile since I've been on the AFR website. When I had my 165's they suggested a spring upgrade when using hyraulic roller cams. This is due to the aggressive ramp rates or something like that. I bought mine from Ed C. @FTI. Check him out for you're cam if you can swing the money for a custom ground. Are you keeping this motor n/a? If so what are you considering for compression?

Ed's Spring and Viton Seal upgrade will run you right under $200, worth every penny. The custom cam $325, and to be honest every Ed cam I have installed has worked very well.....worth the wait and money.

Do it once, do it right.....

well i dont have that much money to be getting a custom cam and new springs right now. im thinking later on when i want to add a 5-8 psi blower, ill have a real custom cam made then.

meanwhile ill just get a 270hr or 274hr and it will be plenty for the rare times i even get on it.

30's? isint that a little big for my setup?

30s with a 331 and 185s....should make some nice POWA!

alright, not a big problem.

i still have 19's and a matching pro-m in the garage, so its just as easy to buy 30's as 24's.

 

[5.0 HOtrain]

I ran 30's on the 302 with n/p

forgot to mention a couple things.

intake will be a ported/polished performer rpm

will pick up a canton oil pan

what range of power does a 331 typically make with these mods? 300 rwhp should be fairly simple right, thats what im expecting/going for out of this.

 

[5.0 HOtrain]

I would venture a guess of 325-375rwhp, in there somewhere
