Not Ranked
Rick,
I appreciate the good advice. I did speak with Barry a few months back to get some ideas and a budgetary number. He suggested the 482 because it is free power. I was really leaning more towards a 454.
He also suggested E-brock heads, Blue Thunder intake and the 4.25 stroker because there is minimal cost difference. He did note that roller lifters were over kill for my app. I am not firm on iron or aluminum at this point. I want the best for my application.
My intention is to let the professional (Barry) guide me on engine choices. The must haves are side oiler, very streetable, minimal maintenance and long life.
This car will get driven. I put 5k a year on the ERA I just sold.
I plan to use a TKO600 with .64 od. I am leaning towards the ERA designed rear with 3.31-1. The 3.31 is a struggle, I am just not sure at this point.
