Old Yeller

I want to say, that this thread is also for me to ask a few questions and learn a few things.

Also, the motor will be far from an ideal combination, at least at first...while I have a few good parts, some will have to be what I have on hand from years past. I will have to scrounge and wheel and deal to get some things I need. That is all part of the fun, at least, for me.

Parts I have so far,
2 standard bore 340 blocks, one I already square decked.
4" Eagle forged crank.
Icon flat tops 4.06 bore
Scat H beam rods.
Well used set of Procomp heads.
Rebuilt Comp solid roller lifters, .810 wheel.

Several old intakes, including an Offy tunnel ram pictured above, which is what I would prefer to run.

The only solid roller cam I have here is an old Racer Brown 71R , 274,274 @ .050 .590,.590 lift, 105 lobe sep,
It is on a cast core. I would prefer something in the 250s @ .050 with mid 600s on lift. I will have to see what I can come up with.... Jim at RB said this current cam would be a bit much for a shop truck.

Rockers will probably be 273 Iron ones.

I really wanted to use a 904, but I got a killer deal on a new PTC converter for a 727, so that is what I will use.

That is all I have right now, and this pandemic put a hurt on my finances, I usually hit an outage at a power plant each year and get 84 to 100+ hours a week for a couple of months. Not happening this year...

I am enjoying being home more though!
