My first engine build. I just hope it runs when I'm done!

Well, I'm unintentionally building an engine. I'm serious about this being unintentional, it's just kind of happening.


Here's what I have.

1977 .030 over 360 block. Zero deck.

Flat top pistons (with valve reliefs), balanced.

Crank is cast and has been internally balanced.

Rods are stock.

Ported W2 heads. Open chamber, approximately 60cc. 1.5 Crane roller rockers. Springs are good for .650 lift or so.

Compression ratio will be right around 12:1, hopefully a little bit higher.

Cam is a Lunati. Advertised duration (In/Ex): 288/296
Duration @ .050 (In/Ex): 255/263
Gross valve lift (In/Ex): .626/.626
LSA/ICL: 106/100
Valve lash (In/Ex): .026/.026

Carb is a Quick Fuel Q-series 850CFM Drag E85.

Fuel pump is a Quick Fuel 175 GPH piece. Regulator is one of their units as well.
Intake is a Holley Strip Dominator.

Headers are TTI 1 7/8 "race" headers.

Oil system consists of Milodon pieces with a Melling pump.

Balancer is a Pro Race Products piece.




Wish me luck. I have no goals or expectations, other than I hope it runs when it's all said and done. Obviously there are small things I haven't listed. Here we go!
