Hello Everyone, Just wanted to ask everyone's opinion on my decission.
I'm going to go with a SD short block {unless I hear some negitive replys on my decission}. They have a blueprinted and balanced
502 big block short block for $4999 {#1256878BP}...GM gen VI block, forged crank & pistons, steel rods. They will put in a blower cam for me
for an extra $75 {labor only of course}, plus the cost of the cam. This has
8:75 to 1 compression with 119 cc heads. But I found a set of heads that
are made by Dart that have 141 cc's. This would put my compression at around
7:63 to 1. Purr-fect for a blower motor. Then run either an 8:71 unless I can save some extra money before 'blower purchace time' & then I'm thinking of a
Whipple. Oh, the heads there are several part #'s depending on which ones you get {either 119 cc or 141cc, w/CNC or wo}. #'s 16300000 thru 16600000. I'll call Dart to get the exact number. How do I post attachments on this site??? I'll just post the Dart spec. sheet. I'd like everyone's opinion....
SD seemed like a good choice. Agree??? Thanks Bill
HAPPY 4TH. OF JULY EVERYONE!!!

 

Sounds like a good plan to me. I can't find fault with any of it. I say go for it.

You post stuff by using the advanced features and "pointing" to a URL that contains whatever you're trying to link into the post. I don't do it real often myself.

 

Thank You Damon, This evening I'll attenpt to post the spec sheet on
the heads. I don't want to end up with a mis-matched combination....
Bill

ps, Damon, was that really YOUR grandma's '78??? That's COOL

 

If I recall correctly, Car Craft used that short block with AFR 305 "as cast" heads and a YS trim Vortech and got, I think... 920hp.

Just pointing out that the 305's have some real nice potential and they aren't the most expensive heads either.

 

oops..didnt see this thread.. yea good decision. look into cent. blowers.. get a Procharger if you can before a Vortech though.
