I will get it fully dyno/wideband tuned after its together. Am I missing anything/ will these parts all work together? How about a high torque starter or a tighter steering box? Thanks ---

"*Eagle SIR I beam forged lightweight rods w/ press fit pin"

you might be pushing these rods to their limit, if I was going to spend a ton of money on an engine, which I already have done, I would want to make the bottom end as strong as possible. I don't have as much experience as some other guys on here, but thats my opinion.

Eric@Victory Racing

If it comes down to a budget I would down grade from the Morels or the AS&M Throttle body and upgrade the rods to an H-Beam. But everything else looks good.

NightTrain66

Everything looks good but I would get some 1 3/4 LT headers or at least some 1 3/4 Mid Length headers instead of the Edelbrocks. You are wasting an EASY 20 HP by using the Edelbrocks.

I would run bushed rods, I personally don't think you are going to out RPM and power those rods. I would run a 6.0" rod to help get piston mass down, which will help the life of the rods, just don't spray them. The 11.8:1 will be perfect for that setup.

Those rods are recommended UP TO 500hp and I guess I will be at the limit n/a (probably around 470hp)!!! Thanks for the advice guys---

*Bret, When you get bushed you can use floating pins right? What is the advantage to that over the pressed pins? Thanks

*Lloyd, thanks for the header advice.....20hp is alot!!! My shop in town said they can hook me up with a new TRUE dual setup w/o cats. I guess I will be heading down that road now, with some lt's . I just need it to pass inspection still, haha ---

*Thanks Eric. You have been alot of help too, looks like I will be going h-beam so I can still use the spray. ---

*Sleeper Mullet, thanks for the advice too bro. I see you are using a msd coil and ignition box. Should I get something like that to upgrade my ignition setup or should I be fine with the stock setup??? ---

I have a 2 pod gauge setup for the a pillar, what are the two most important things I should be keeping an eye on? ( what 2 gauges do you recommend I get ) ? Thanks again to all of you, I am 95% sure I am swapping rods now, to bushed h's ,lol.

Are the Eagle 3d Stroker 4340 H-Beams good enough??? Up to 700hp and 8000rpm, and bronze bushed. Then I can run the 125 n20 and be fine right? ---

Oil pressure for sure, and im not sure what else. Maybe engine heat? Get digital guages. Im doing a custom array of guages in the cassette-holder spot

joe-96z1le

I don't care for the poly mounts. They transmit too much vibration to the car. As far as guages, if I had to pick two, I'd put in something that's not already on the dash. Fuel pressure and vacuum. I actually have three other guages, two in the cassette holder--oil temp and water temp. And an oil press. guage on the pillar with vacuum/boost and fuel pressure.

AlwaysCode390

I have solid mounts on my 67 so I am used to a little vibration ---

* I also tend to think about gauges that are NOT in the dash. How accurate are those A/F ratio digital gauges so I know I am in tune all the time??? Fuel Pressure sounds good too, or maybe nitrous pressure if I cant get the bottle mounted in eye sight (for the gauge on the bottle)? Thanks guys---

AlwaysCode390

How are the Pacesetter Long Tube Headers? Should I get the offroad ones or the ones with the egr/air attachments? I have the obd2 and in Missouri they just plug in the dash and you pass or you dont depending on the codes you throw. If I get a computer tune will the air/egr pass when they are turned off or just say NOT READY? Thanks ---

johnny3986

I live in MO too...I have the offroad ones, and $20 got me the $12 safety inspection and they didn't even bother plugging anything in. Are you in STL or on the KC side? I'm guessing STL...

AlwaysCode390

Yeah , STL side. When do the new laws come in effect where my car wont need emissions testing? ---

joe-96z1le

I had an Autometer A/F ratio guage, hooked to one of the O2 sensors, for awhile. Its a good light show but to me it wasn't much more useful than that.

AlwaysCode390

Thanks Joe, I heard the same thing before, lol ... but are they accurate?

Why did it not do its job....does the engine always stay in tune on its own? ---
