Its been a couple years since I posted on here and its about time I get around to doing some of the things I had been too poor to do.
I have a set of extensively ported D0OE '69 351 heads that were on a car that was running high 10's. They have 1.94/1.60 stainless valves in them. I just picked up a set of crane energizer roller rockers to go with them. I have on the way a set of 3.5" tall valve covers (this should clear the rockers, right?) and an ARP head stud kit.
I am going to order in the next couple of days:
Cam/Lifter set - narrowed down to 3 I think
1. Comp Cams Xtreme Energy FS XE268H-10 (.509/.512 lift, 1600-5800rpm)
2. Comp Cams Xtreme Energy FS XE274H-10 (.520/.523 lift, 1800-6000rpm)
3. Lunati Voodoo 268 Duration (.522/.538 lift, 1800-6200rpm)
Timing Chain - Double Roller
Head Bushings - Trick Flow TFS-51400419
Rocker Studs - ARP 3/8
Push Rods - ?
Headers - CJ Pony Parts ceramic coated tri-y The primary tubes are 1 1/2" , the secondary tubes are 1 3/4" and the collectors are 2 1/2".
The car currently has a performer intake that will be replaced w/ a weiand stealth most likely. Its a 4 speed car with, I think, 3.00:1 gears. The engine is a stock rebuilt ~20k mi. 289 A code with a holley 1850 series 600 cfm carb. It is to be mostly a street car that will be driven less than 5000 miles a year. I want it to be streetable and I also want to run solid 13 second quarters. I have already done subframe connectors, springs, etc. so the chassis/suspension will handle what I want to do. Let me know what you think and if I am forgetting anything.
p.s. I am going to take the heads to a speed shop to be cc'd so I can find out the compression ratio. I will have to pull the old head to figure out if I still have pistons that make the 10:1 its supposed to. Thats the # I want to stay with so the heads may have to be milled some more.
Thanks
Trevor
