And lnulike jegs, summit and abunch of others our engines are custom built not assemblyline built. which means you tell us what you want to do with it and we will design an engine to do it. but it does take a little time currently 6 to 8 weeks.

 

yuppers, +1 on that

 

Another +1... balance is everything... vibrations=bad...

 

ive hear rhr performance builds realy good motors that who im planing on going with for my 408 u should check him out no prices on his website you will have to send him emaile and he will get back with you

 

Funny...no mention of this magic cam that can do all this. 8k rpm? Pass that doobie around man...

 

When goofing around as a kid, I had the opportunity to break a couple street motors. The last motor (small block) I built for the car had been set up to withstand 500 - 550 hp, balanced to 8,000 rpm. It had a solid lifter cam, which you could take to 7K, but really was 2400 -6600 power band.

Build it stronger than you need, and use a good street cam. Unless you're racing, a nice performance hydraulic street cam, and then you don't have to worry about over-revving, or adjusting lifters.

 

[sm=goodidea.gif]The 351W I pulled out of my '65 had a solid lifter roller cam that worked great and revved high, but was a drag to adjust after awhile. From that experience, I came to the realization that for me, there is such a thing as too much power for a street driven '65. My new motor is a 'milder' 302 with 375/394 and it is still difficult to put it to the pavement. Even with the full Global West suspension, I'm not totally confident in its manners like I was with my later model GT's. YMMV.

Maybe I am getting old.
