Engine Questions
Sorry for the multi-room posting I just want everybody's opinoins.
I want to get a 73-80 c-10. It will be my daily driver. I want something that will really get up and go. I want some nice low end torque. I plan to race it at the track just mainly to be able to drive fast not so much for best time. Here is my idea. a 350 bored .030 over (355) 9:1 compresion, (or would 9 1/2 :1 be better?) maybe an RV cam not sure on heads I'm only 15 so I dont know all about motors so could you help me with that. a 600 or 650 carb (what brand should I run?) an rpm intac maybe 1.6 ratio rocker, long tube headers, or short tube. dual exhaust with flow masters a higher stall (what stall speed?) a th350 with shift kit. and I am still not sure on gears, and a msd distributer with hotter coil, plugs, and wires. Anything else you can think of? Anything you would change? Will this motor be way to much torque and not enough top end? Would I be better off with some short tube headers to even the power curve out? Do you also think I should up the carb size altittle?
