just picked up a 409 Crank. turned 10/10, Balanced. Now to just get my drop shipped rods from Eagle and my block back from the shop...No,that crank issue[409 crank/348 block] is a complete falsehood,and if your truck engine came with the original pan,you're good to go there as well.If you want a little better performance than this package,I know of a Lunati hyd,.roller that will fit the bill very nicely as well.
no clearnace issues if i have the heads resurfaced with those valves you think? would help a touch with the Compression ratio at least if i have that done.By all means! I'd say that the 2.06 intake and the 1.72 exhaust will work great with that cam and headers.
ordered a set from Show cars today. largest they had were 3/8's.Show Cars has the guide plates,as does McQuillian engines.
That's all you will need for that engine! not many running 7/16 out there like we doordered a set from Show cars today. largest they had were 3/8's.
yep, It's a single notch truck block, from last year of "W" production.Single notch IS a car block/truck block. Double is a truck only. Book can be wrong!
I just checked this cam spec card and with stock 1.7 ratio rockers exh lift will be .600 int. .584. Any issues with piston to valve contact using a 11 to 1 piston that you know of? Any fly cutting required on the piston with the .045 quench?Now what you'll have to do is call Lunati and have them grind pn 20120711[big block grind] on a W blank.It's no big deal to do and will run you just under 400.00.They also have a great price on their roller lifters[400.00] as compared to Comp and most others.It will have a noticeable idle ,much like the 0951 flat tappet,a wider,flatter torque band,and they also have an excellent dist.drive gear that you'll need as this is a steel billet cam.At 219 in.-227ex.@.050 ,it'll be strong from about 1800-5800,and would love an overdrive automatic with a 26-2800 convertor.A rear gear of 3.55-3.70 would give good mileage.This cam would be awesome with that proposed Holley TBI injection.
