Engine for a 63 Impala SS convertible
5 speed Richmond overdrive with 3.55 rear gears.
Not sure of the tire size at this time
Mostly Street, but ready for a pass or two
Original block is a 1960 Car block (1 compression Relief cut)
4” Eagle stroker Crank
Icon 10.8 Compression pistons with Moly rings (.030 over) 1.155 bore
Scat H beam 6.135 rods with ARP 7/16” bolts
Cam Details (Howards Cam)
Also will probably go with a set of Dougs ceramic coated headers.
I'm thinking I could save a little money going with an I beam connecting rod over the H beam and maybe even some rotating weight, so I might go that way as I think "I" beams will more than hold up to the HP numbers I am going to produce.
I think the above combination should put me around the 450 HP area and let the car run on Premium unleaded gas.
