I am going to finally build a motor for my 83' Elco. Now I know its not everyones first choice but I have had this block since my father has passed so I am really not looking to build anything else.
65' small journal 327... block is currently bored to .040 over so she will be bumped to .060. I also have the forged crank that came along with her. Now I am not building a drag car... but my plans are for a Pro Charged street car.
ProCharger says that a 8.5:1 to 9.0:1 works best on running engines with 8-10 PSI of boost. I had recently purchased a rebuild kit with forged pistons running 9.07:1. I have a NIB Performer RPM intake that I am hoping will work with this application. I am looking into the ProCharger P-1SC or the D-1SC for my options.
Now for the questions.....
1. Pro Charger claims that a cam using 112-114 degree lobe separation and exhaust duration 10-12 greater than intake duration is optimum. What cam would be recommended using this setup?
2. Heads.. I have a set of 65' Camel humps. Is it even worth the time and expense it will cost to build these?
