Hey guys...ok Ive got a new motor off ebay (if you've read the thread "Good deal?" then you know which one Im talking about) and my buddy is trying to steer me away from the 331 stroker kit I was going to put in, which I agree w/ him because I will save a ton of money. However I just wanted to get an estimate from all you pros out there. Here's what I got.
The block I got of ebay:
The short block is washed and oiled, ready for the front cover, oil pan, heads, intake, etc. to be installed. The bore is 4.060, crank ground .010, decks squared, new Badger or
Silvolite pistons, Hastings rings, Federal Mogul or Engine Tech bearings, Melling oil pump and pump drive and Crane Blue Racer cam, .512 lift, 228 degrees duration @ .050", 284 adv. duration and either ARP or Pioneer 180,00 psi chrome moly rod bolts. Block has been bored and honed, rods resized/reconditioned, new bolts installed, block decked, cam degreed
and block cleaned and painted.
I'll be bolting on:
-AFR-185 heads
-Weiand Stealth Intake
-Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke
-Edelbrock Performer fuel pump
-MSD Ignition
-Hedman Long tube headers
-2.5" h-pipe
-flowmasters
With:
-2400 stall converter on a C-4 trans(stock)
-3:55 gears
(The cooling system is all brand new, 3 row, flex-a-lite, high vol pump)
Do you guys think I need a bigger carb?
How much HP?
How much torque?
It's going ot be a daily driver, will this set up be better than the 331 stroker?
