Rick, curious why are you recomending such big hardware? He just wants to run a 357. If he goes with a stock crank, do you think that he will be able to take advantage of the 1000 cfm carb and super victor?
IMO for a decent 351 based drag car, victor JR and a 750 to 850 carb. Simple double pumper on a budget with a proform center section. Demon if you have a little more cash.
It all depends on your goals and budget. BTW what are they?
He said all out race car.... I automatically pictured, high rpm, big soild roller, etc...
Joe ran the carb on a 377 and had no issues at all, so the small cube motor will be fine as long as it turns 7000rpms.
For a nice mild 351W based set-up the Vic Jr would be better, especially if it is a street car.
It all depends on his goal... I second that, what is it? I have a nasty custom Billet soild roller for a N2O combo, let me know if you'd be interested.
FTI .688/.688, 262/272 @ .050 114 Sep, 112 Cnter line.
Bronze distributor gear REQUIRED.
The power band is roughly between 3500 to 7500 rpm for 385-410 cubic inches.
The power band is roughly between 3800 to 7800 rpm for 347-360 cubic inches.
Gear the vehicle accordingly.
The preferred spring pressure is 220#-230# on the seat.
It is highly recommended to use the best racing cylinder head possible.
JR, if you decided to stroke it let me know, I'll see if I can help you on internals.
