new bullet for my marquis

A little extra cam and compression??? Sounds like a plan.. An aftermarket intake? Headers too? Pocket port? :twak:moo
 
Im using a 1971 400 block crank & heads

heads fully reconditioned new guides and seats on the exhaust 2.02 intake 1.65 exhaust
Keith Black pistons 9.3-1 compression ratio with quench
Comp Cam with matching springs mid range for torque 1500-5500 rpm
rotating assembly sent over to Crankshaft Craftsman full balance

I bought he pistons from Tmeyer engine on Minnesota who is a cleveland engine expert
with this cam the engine should make 325 HP and 425 pounds of torque which should make my old land yacht move down the road nicely

Budget for an EFI system? That thread a few days back has efi on my mind for old cars. So this will still be a 351 or a 400/408?
 
400 .030 over 408
essentially the early 400 was a tall deck cleveland engine the 351m was a de stroked 400
swap out rods and crank the blocks are the same

thought about using aFi Tech EFI and run it on E85 but I'm seriously thinking of selling it to a kid I work with
he offered the (i dont wanna sell it ) price to me for it
 
Bad ass! There's nothing like a land yacht with a little steam under the hood. My imperial got a few goodies when I rebuilt the 440 in it.
 
Doing a little old school on the build guessing from how hard it was to find the paint to do it with
Painted the lifter valley and interior of the block with ( Glyptal ) paint helps the oils run back to the pan faster
Went to Painters Supply asking for it and they didn't know what I was asking for
Searched Summits website got lucky found it at Eastwood

Lol whatever helps you sleep better. I am a fan of smoothing/enlarging the drainback holes in the cylinder heads.
