Budget Friendly Build

I’ve been piecing things together for my, “as budget friendly”, as possible build.

Here’s what I’m thinking.


360 block, standard bore, hot tanked and magna fluxed, cylinders honed to clean them up.

Stock rods, resized, shot peened and ARP bolts. Mains checked for alignment.

Speed Pro pistons, H116Cp Flat tops w/ valve reliefs.
Crower hydraulic cam.

Lift 0.507/0.520, duration @ 0.050 lift 224*/234*, ground on a 108* lobe center, Power band is 2700 – 6500. Matching springs, locks and retainers.

LD340 intake.

750 cfm ??? carb.

Cloyes true double roller w/tensioner.

Stock distributor recurved.

MSD ignition (undecided on which one)

Went with J heads with a complete valve job, mild porting 2.02/1.60.

1 3/4 “ headers.





Any thoughts, will it work? :-D
