Couple things i havent got yet are the clutch (not sure what would be a good clutch for streetability, i was think a king cobra clutch)
Also i havent yet purchased a gasket kit, i want something very good especially for the head gaskets, any suggestions? thanks guys let me know what yall think.

if you're doin all that why do E-303 letter cam get something else, i mean E-303's fine and all but comp doesnt have somthing instead?

Should be fun, but remember, 302 parts make 302 power. And I agree, there are better cams out there than the FRPP stuff.

sounds like it will be fun and +1 on a better cam, i got a crane cam first and after some desktop dyno info found that comp had a better cam that would give 20+ more hp over the crane so thats a $130 part good for 20+ hp. thats a good bang for the buck anyday

hey guys, well i guess the only reason i was gonna go with the e303 was because i already have it, but yall made a good point too, whats another 130-160 dollars when your doing a biuld right? i had been thinking about about a comp cam today also, does anyone know a good cam for mid to top end power? im also going to be using 1.6 rr's so i gotta make sure its not too much lift for the piston to valve clearance. thanks again guys.

Also im really only exspecting about 300-350whp outa this setup thats gonna be with a full dyno tune, to high?

I would be talking with one of the guys that make custom cams, Jay Allen at Camshaft Innovations or Ed Curtis @ FTI

that seems like it should be easy with a 351w and aluminum heads and good cam

If you can get a hold of Jay let me know

hey thanks guys ill be giving them a call this week so i can got on the ball with this biuld, any ideas for a good gasket kit, manley worried about some really good head gaskets, and also a good clutch kit?

Max lift has absolutely nothing to do with PtV clearance. It's all in the overlap/duration and what the valves are doing between the exhaust and intake stroke.

If you talk to one of those custom cam guys, they'll set you up and put you in the right direction.

people will forever get that confused. I know for awhile there Jay was have health issues, hopefully all is well but I'm sure he is way behind. people where going nuts trying to find him and wondering why he wasn't emailing them back.

He is not well, and still very much battling with his condition
