Stroker Windsor build for HM-1023

[LMH]

I like multiple carb setups as you know. It seems to me that Price casts their intakes with extra material so they can be ported up or down, depending what heads are used. You can check with them to be sure of fitment. Price Motorsport
As far as working, I don't see any reason they wouldn't work, though they'll probably need jetting to suit. FYI, they'll need balancer tops for the secondary's. They're available at a couple different Holley dealers. I never got around to buying them.

So, you know the old saying "If you bought it on Craigslist, it MUST be good"? Me neither!!! So far, I've gotten the heads removed. EDIT TO CLARIFY -The engine I bought was advertised as having fullroller rockers, fully ported heads, and hydraulic roller lifters/cam. So far, that's not the case. Nor are the pistons a set of 11 or 12 to 1 forgings as was so enthusiastically described to me by the seller. So far I have comp cams roller TIP rockers, hydraulic non-roller lifters of unknown origin, and a set of heads for which any claims of flow are dubious at best.

I decided to tear down and inspect, and it's not as bad as it could be. But its NOT what I thought I was buying. Rebuild is new, forged SRP pistons,looks like balancing, arp rod bolts, mild port job on D0OE castings. About the only thing I found down below that I questioned and will remedy is changing out the fully grooved main bearings for a set with solid bottom halves.

I need recommendations for cam, and to decide whether to run my price dual quad manifold topped with 390 cfm holleys, or get a air gap manifold with a single.

Engine has 9.6:1 compression. TKO 600, 3.55 rear. I want a hydraulic roller cam with a good lope to it, that is somewhat civilized. A few rough edges are ok.

Basically this engine is a way to fill the void NOW and sort out the rest of the car, then sell to another builder, once my 427w is finished.

If you are building a 408W call Lance at Craft Performance for the cam. I bought a 408 from him a few years back. Great sound, 530 hp. Good street manners. I sold the car and I gave the paperwork (cam card) to the new owner.

So, here's the current situation. I ordered a Scat forged rotating assembly 47405. This kit yields 408 cubic inches, and comes with:
-4-inch stroke forged crank
-h-beam rods with 7/16 bolts
-Icon forged pistons. The kit specified a -25cc dish piston (I think), but Kevin over at Clegg engine was able to spec. -15cc dish slugs to get us up to a more ideal 10.5:1 compression ratio.
Also ordered:
-Scat SFI rated balancer
-157 tooth PRW flywheel weighing 24 pounds, also SFI rated.

For those wondering, Clegg engine is an engine shop that's only a couple miles from Kirkham"s facility in Utah, and they provide Kirkham builders with powerplants on the regular.

After being pointed in the same direction by both Kevin at Clegg and Wild Bill (my local guy), I opted for a hydraulic roller cam from Howards. P.N. 220275 yields 241 int. 247 ex. @.050" duration, and .581" int. And .608" ex. Lift with 1.6 ratio rockers. Lobe separation is 110, and intake c/l is 106.

I opted for a set of Howards Maximum Effort hydraulic rollers and a Howards billet timing set.

Anyone here used this cam? I'm really curious of what you think of it.
