Engine Rebuild is Coming Soon

Its about that time, cams wearing out and oil psi is getting low, plus I suddenly have a lot more money coming in. ;D I have to buy tires for the car and wheels for the truck (2 weeks), and then everythings going into the engine!

I'm gonna stick with the stock 350 short-block, but add summit heads and a comp cams roller cam as well as an offy dual port intake manifold. I been wondering about that intake, so I'm going to try it. If it sucks I'll get a performer EPS.

I'll be getting my short-block rebuilt, and with the summit heads it'll make right around 9:1 comp ratio.

I'm getting Summit heads SUM-152123

New Distributor - I'll be buying a bunch of stuff from this guy if all goes well

Offenhauser Intake 6007DP

Engine Rebuild Kit (should give 8.9-9.0 comp ratio with the summit heads) Actual part number may change depending on which exact bearings I end up needing, but these are the pistons i want.

Comp Cam Roller Tip Rocker Arms 1412-16

I'll be keeping the edelbrock 1406, since it only has like 10k miles on it

At some point soon it'll have electric fans.

And once I get it all buttoned up, I'm getting 2.5 dual exhaust with cherry bomb vortex mufflers. I'll get 2.5 since I have half of it already.

Once the engines built, I'm having a 700r4 built and will adapt it into my chassis. I'll be keeping the 3.73 rear gears.

Thats all thats concrete at this time. the engine will be painted something like coke can red, since my interior is red.
