Hey guys!
so a while ago i put a crate engine in my 85. years later and a blown piston rod, and im just going to rebuild the original engine.
ive never built an engine from the bottom up, so i have requested help from a mechanically inclined neighbor. hes been on vacation for a while and will be for the next week or so. i want to order the parts and get this thing to a machine shop and back before he gets home so we can start working on it. i got a list of parts together and was wondering if you guys could maybe give me some pointers, some no-no's, and some (hopefully) good jobs!
so the original engine is a 305, it saw a lot of miles, had a blown piston ring on cyl 7. im boring it out to a 350 at 4 over. im keeping some of the parts off the old engine, like the carb, intake manifold, etc.
so heres my list of parts:
Dart aluminum heads
Rockers
Lunati Voodoo Cam
Eagle Bottom End
heres some quick specs of the parts:
Stroke: 3.48
Rod Length: 5.7
pistons: -5cc flat top hypereutectic
heads
intake port: 200cc
CC chamber: 64cc
valves: 2.02 intake / 1.6 exhaust
valve springs: 1.437"
3/8 rocker studs and 5/16 guide plates
rocker ratio: 1.5
camshaft
advertised duration: 262/268
dur @ .05: 219/227
gross valve lift: .468"/.489"
LSA 112
ICL 108
all the parts are just in my price range, im mostly looking for input as to whether all of these parts will work nicely together. of course im very open to suggestions on different parts.
thanks for any help in advance, im very excited to get to work on this!
