budget build 360

If you want to set up to the plate a bit more like this, then the previous machine work question would be answer as, "It would be a very good idea to do so."

How fast do you want to go in the 1/4? Or is that even a care?!?!? LOL!!

Also, at this point, I'd recommend a pro converter place like Frank Lupo
s Dynamic converters or equal. Around here, a lot of guys seem to use approx. a 3500 stall with that cam. (292/.509)

OK, cam recommendation to go fast? A basically 10-1 360 with;

4.10 gears, the 292/.509 purple will get ya high 12's, mid 12's.

4.30 gears, the choice I myself would be (For the purple cam line up at least) would be the mechanical cam P4120655. 296/.557 (250* @ .050)

(I'll be using this in the next build with 1.6 rockers for .594 lift. I also run a 4spd.)
