Budget 318 build

i'll try in order....
  • Going from 2.76 to 3.73 will be a huge help.... in the 1/4. Not for cruising on the highway, it will sound like your in 2nd gear.
  • My average gain on "home-porting" heads is approx. 4 tenths
  • Who said the factory tins are .028 thick? I'd say .018 is closer.
  • Quit with your "paper" dyno. Cutting heads helps low end torque, so stop with the paper 4 hp thingy you got going on... LOL. That being said, I wouldn't cut the 302's.
I forgot the purpose of your car, low E.T. or nice highway cruiser.... just back to thinking about your gears.....
The purpose of my car is just a fun cruiser I'm not gonna be racing it I just want a street car that will have enough power to get me around and be fun to drive lay a black mark or two and not get out ran by a 91 Buick as someone here put it lol! Thanks for the input I'm just trying to get the best bang for my buck make it run better than stock without spending a fortune. Oh btw by cut do you mean mill? Or port? I wish I could find a new factory gasket lol
