I have a 1990 5.0 h.o. that I'm putting in my 64.5 coupe. I've asked in vintage forums but nobody can answer my questions.
What I have done so far is do a basic re-ring and new bearing rebuild after I brought my block to a machine shop and it turned out to be in near perfect shape. I decided to use the stock TRW pistons because they were in great shape as well.
As far as the heads go, I don't really want to re-use the E7s and was looking into aluminum heads, but I'm really not going that aggressive with the build and I'm just wanting 300ish hp to the ground. The intake I'm thinking of using is a weiand action plus that is good from idle up to 6kish rpms along with some stock GT40 heads. Is the stock cam a good choice for a carb setup? If it is, will 1.7 rockers be a good modification, or just go with a different cam entirely? What kind of lift can I get with stock pushrods and rockers? The carb I want to use is an Autolite 4100 with the larger 1.12 venturis that makes it in the 600cfm range.
I'm sorry to ask a question that has probably been asked thousands of times, but for some reason I can't find the answers to my questions.
